READ: Jeremiah 48:40

40 For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 13:24-52, Job 33-34

MESSAGE:

An eagle is an uncommon bird that the Bible associates with victorious Christian living. It has some traits that should encourage you to soar higher in your journey with God. First, an eagle flies at a high altitude, not with low-flying birds like sparrows and pigeons. In as much as you want to show love to everyone as Christ commands, you should not be rolling with unbelievers but fellow eagles in the faith. You need to constantly aim to soar high spiritually and in other areas of your life.

Another trait of an eagle is that it gets excited when the cloud looks stormy. It uses the strong wind to lift itself above the clouds. Thus, as a child of God – as an eagle, you are not meant to chicken out in the face of a challenge; rather, you should use it to rise to greater heights. High achievers thrive on challenges and use them profitably.

Eagles don’t always have a soft and easy life; the same applies to us but the good news is that we have a God who promised never to leave nor forsake us. Wait on Him and learn to soar high above the cares and trials of life.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to mount up with wings like an eagle, in Jesus’ name.

HYMN: I’m Pressing On The Upward Way

1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
   New heights I’m gaining every day;
   Still praying as I onward bound,
   “Lord, plant my feet on higher
   ground”.

CHORUS
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith on heaven’s table-land;
Where love and joy and light abound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2. My heart has no desire to stay,
   Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
   Though some may dwell where
   these abound,
   My constant aim is higher ground.
3. Beyond the mist I fain would rise,
   To rest beneath unclouded skies,
   Above earth’s turmoil peace is found
   By those who dwell on higher ground.
4. I long to scale the utmost height,
   Though rough the way, and hard the fight,
   My song while climbing shall resound
   Lord lead me on to higher ground.
5. Lord lead me up the mountain side,
   I dare not climb without my Guide;
   And heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
   With grateful heart from higher ground.
