The Eagle!

The Eagle!

March 3, 2011

We went to the lake to fly a kite. We drove around a bit to find a good private spot without campers. People were everywhere because it was spring break weekend. I was just about ready to give up, totally frustrated when, against my “better” judgment, Stewart decided to take this little “pig trail” of a road. It looked more like a four-wheeler trail but the Tahoe fit down it so he took it. We ended up at a good private location with a nice sandy beach. As soon as we got out of the car, “Hunny look! An eagle!” Stewart calls out. Sure enough a beautiful eagle landed at the shore where we were. Such a rare and awesome treat GOD blessed us with. Immediately scriptures start flooding my head with references to eagles.

Job 39:27  Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?

Deu 32:11  As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

Isa 40:31  But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

I was thankful we had a hard time finding a spot because it took us to a beautiful place. Many times in our lives we get frustrated and are ready to give up because it looks hopeless or maybe the road gets too bumpy or maybe simply because we can not see the end result, we want to turn back. With GOD we must learn to just hold on and trust that the end destination will be totally worth it all.

Gal 6:9  And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

I also need to learn that my husband is to lead and I am to follow. His decision to go down the road less traveled was the one that led us to the blessing. 

Eph 5:22  Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
