DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 15:32 to 16:20; Jer. 50:21-46; Titus 2:9 to 3:15
The LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself. Exodus 19:3-4
There is only one way for a young eagle to learn to fly. It is pushed out of its nest into thin air. The mother eagle is the safety net and the instructor while training her offspring. She will fly underneath her young with her wings spread out in order to catch a tumbling eaglet. We too, often learn the most important lessons in life while tumbling out of control only to fall into the loving and peaceful arms of the Saviour. Beloved, He will never drop you! —Warren Henderson
There on eagles’ wings we soar, and time and sense seem all no more,
Heaven comes down our souls to greet; glory crowns the mercy seat.— Hugh Stowell
