1000 and Still Soaring

Isaiah 40:30-31 (King James Version)

 ³⁰Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: ³¹But 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.

This is my 1000 Bible blog, what a privilege it has been to be able to share what God’s has been laying on my heart. My prayer from the start has been that God would use this blog to spread His word throughout the world. I am always in awe that God has allowed me to be used in this small way. In honor of number 1000 I want to feature the verse Becky and I have chosen for our life verse.  This is also the verse that our company name was taken from. I pray that you will be touched by this great verse also.

 Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks?

The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come.

When the storm hits, the eagle sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm.

While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring high above it.

The eagle does not escape the storm; it simply uses the storm to lift itself higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm. When the storms of life come upon us ... and all of us will experience them ... we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God. The storms do not have to overcome us; we can allow God's power to lift us above them.

God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment into our lives. We can soar above these storms. Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down; it is how we handle them. ~ Author Unknown ~

- Dear Lord we thank you for the eagle and the lessons we can learn from them.  We pray that we will be able to soar through the storms that come our way. In Jesus' name, amen.
