Like An Eagle
His yoke is easy and is burden is light. He lifts us up, we are redeemed and set free.
Psalm 103:1 Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. 2 Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-- 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Isaiah 40:31 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.
Matthew 11:28 "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Although poets sing praises of the apparently effortless soaring and gliding of bald eagles, in fact their flight may be awkward and exhausting. Because of their size, eagles need optimal flying conditions to display true elegance. Optimal conditions include enough wide-open space (unhampered by trees or branches), a high take-off point, and good wind conditions. Eagles depend on large masses of warm air called thermals to soar and glide gracefully. The rising air lifts the birds to great heights. When winds pass over hills and mountains, an updraft of air is created along the windward sides. This upward sweep of wind works with the eagle's wing size and span to keep the eagle aloft. ____ Eagle Biology; Structure & Anatomy

May you find wide open spaces to glide gracefully when you are feeling awkward and exhausted;
May you rise up to greater heights and fly over mountains;
May you find His high take-off point;
May you soar with the Son over you and the wind of His Spirit under your wings;
May you find rest;
May you be healed and renewed;
May you find new youthful strength.

See any similarity? See the difference? We will mount up with wings like eagles, put on His yoke learn from Him. His yoke is light, with it you can soar.
