WORD OF GOD by Pastor Winda
EAGLE'S
(PART I)
Eagles use storms to go to higher heights
We as children of the most high should use storms in our life as an avenue to go higher in God.
Let's talk about Eagles
When EAGLES are migrating (passing through), eagles seldom flap their wings (flapping exerts energy so they seldom flap) ; rather, they use thermal updrafts to gain great altitude and to soar (ascend, rise, climb) and glide (to move smoothly, continuously, and effortlessly.)
Thermal Updraft (upward current) occurs as part of the turbulence
When Eagles see a storm or turbulence, they do not look at it negatively
Eagles use storms to go to higher heights
When we are going through trials and tribulations, we should know that we are passing through and use the situation to go to higher heights in God
James 1:2-4
The Message (MSG)
Faith Under Pressure
2-4 Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.
Don't complain about any seemingly bad circumstances, know that God almighty will deliver you from this situation but in the meantime, trust in God and soar like the eagles.
Isaiah 40:25-31 The Message (MSG)
25-26 “So—who is like me? Who holds a candle to me?” says The Holy.
Look at the night skies: Who do you think made all this? Who marches this army of stars out each night, counts them off, calls each by name—so magnificent! so powerful!— and never overlooks a single one?
27-31 Why would you ever complain, O Jacob, or, whine, Israel, saying, “God has lost track of me. He doesn’t care what happens to me”? Don’t you know anything? Haven’t you been listening? God doesn’t come and go. God lasts. He’s Creator of all you can see or imagine. He doesn’t get tired out, doesn’t pause to catch his breath. And he knows everything, inside and out. He energizes those who get tired, gives fresh strength to dropouts. For even young people tire and drop out, young folk in their prime stumble and fall. But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles, They run and don’t get tired, they walk and don’t lag behind.
