Soaring Eagles
Eagles’ nests are constructed out of large limbs and sticks with a diameter of about nine feet. They are topped and made comfortable with feathers that eagles pluck out of their own bodies. Eaglets remain in the safety of their nests until it’s time for them to fly. With love and care, the parent eagles remove the feathering, poke the eaglets with the exposed branches, and push them out of the nest.
While the eaglets struggle to fly, the parent eagles are watching, hovering and ready to rescue them if need be. If their young are about to crash, the eagles spread their wings, swoop down at 103 mph, catch them, and carry them back to the nest until the next flying lesson. As new creations in Christ, we learn to move in the Spirit. God stirs us up as an eagle stirs up its nest to take us to greater heights.
