[S] Deuteronomy 32:11 --
11 "Like an eagle that stirs up its nest,
That hovers over its young,
He spread His wings and caught them,
He carried them on His pinions.
[O] The story of eagles being trained to fly is an incredible one because the mother eagle will basically push the baby eagles from the nest which is high above the cliff so they will flap their little wings to start flying but since the little ones' wings are not developed yet they will fall downward at which point the mother eagle who was hovering over will dash down and catch the baby eagle on its pinions and repeat the process again until they learn to fly on their own and as we see the grown eagle which flies so gracefully above the sky it did come at a high cost of the mother taking the risk and then carrying them through their development period. My spiritual growth is much like that because I will flap my little wings so fast and yet cannot help but to drop downward fast until I rest in the pinions of Jesus Christ on the Cross; and processes are repeated again. So grateful for God's care and saving grace for me to strengthen up to fly on my own.
[A] Continue to stay humble and learn from His ways because unlike the eagles I have many phases of learning how to "fly" in my spiritual growth and so I need to avoid thinking that I have graduated (which usually leads to spiritual pride) but continue to learn while Jesus catches me again and again.
[P] Dear Father, Your amazing pinions that catches me so I would grow in You to strengthen. How would I learn to do Your ministry here if You weren't there to catch me? Thank you for allowing me to learn and for You to teach me each step of the way. In Jesus' name. Amen.
