Storm

Another lesson from the eagle is its perspective on the storm. It is said that the eagle never seeks to shelter from a storm but instead, uses the winds and gusts to soar higher into the skies.

To the eagle, every storm is an opportunity to go higher, faster and without personal effort. It's expectation at the coming of every storm, is one that anticipates the opportunity it provides.

A storm for most spells trouble in life. It creates loss of many things, including a threat to their very existence. Many animals do not survive a storm because surviving within it can prove to be difficult but rising above it is the place of safety.

What storms are we facing? Let's develop this attribute of the eagle that when the storm comes or is about to come we can embrace the opportunity it provides us to go higher than we've ever been.

Vern Jackson sings "I'm flying higher than I've ever been". Make this our prayer today as we to adjust our perspective of a storm and embrace its opportunities for development.

Scripture: Isaiah 31:5

like flying birds so the Lord of hosts will protect Jerusalem, he will protect and deliver it, he will pass over and rescue it.

Focus

Your current or coming storm is an opportunity, embrace it.

Prayer

Father, we come to you knowing that you are our God and you have made us resilient and resourceful. We thank you for the storms of our lives that are designed to push us upward to different realms. May we embrace the opportunity each storm brings us and may we realize the benefits of it. So we soar with you Lord above every storm. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
