Eagle Christians

"Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place. From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off. Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she." (Job 39:27-30)

 Thought For Today:

The eagle is a very unique bird. Everything we read about it seems to portray what a child of God should be. Some have even called us Eagle Christians. From my reading about the eagle, its eyesight is very keen. Its strength and agility exceed all other fowl. Its ability to soar above danger is unmatched. It proves its abilities to its mate before they birth offspring, as it mates for life. When it becomes ill, it places itself in the sun. These are just a few things I've read about the eagle. It seems that this bird understands life to its fullest. The Lord asked Job, "Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place." She makes her home on high and something solid. The rock signifies that she places it away from danger, and high means something firm and immovable. If we would study and build our lives according to the ways of the eagle, we too would protect our families and ourselves from danger and not be easily moved. Life is so much easier when we follow God's ways
