Eagles In The Storm

            Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks?

            The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come.  When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm.  While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.  The eagle does not escape the storm.  It simply uses the storm to lift it higher.  It rises on the winds that bring the storm.

            When the storms of life come upon us, we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief towards GOD.  The storms do not have to overcome us.  We can allow God’s power to lift us above them.  Remember that it is not the burden of life that weighs us down; it is how we handle them.  With God we can take the troubles and be calm; take the tensions and be tender; take the hurts and be content; take the obstacle and build opportunities.
