On Eagle's Wings

     We all face times in life that are just plain difficult. There's always a bump in the road, complication, or trouble...let's face it, life's not easy! There are times when we face real challenges and real struggles, and they can wear you down. When the storm of difficulty and despair rolls in, we tend to bunker down, hoping to ride it out and survive another day.
     This mindset is a natural reaction, but it is not a good one. Times may be rough and the days may grow dark, but as Christians, we should forsake fear and stand. God has equipped all of us with the strength necessary to stand in the face of the darkness and proclaim our victory. Jesus already has won the fight, and all we must do is walk with confidence, knowing the battle has already been won.
     Like an eagle soaring above the storm, God will keep us safe from harm. Do not let how you feel affect how you fight.
    " But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:30-31
     Do not let your present troubles stop you from walking in victory. If all you can do is stand in the midst of trouble, stand all the more! We are conquerors and overcomers, and as children of the One True King, we have won this war because Jesus already did for us.
     So take courage, stand strong, and soar above the storm like the eagle! You can and you will overcome whatever you are facing! God's got this, just trust him!
