Above the Clouds

I love hearing the Word. My pastor illustrated a very interesting perspective on trials and hardship in your life. It can be pictured as a storm. It's easy to get lost in it.

Unlike other birds, eagles have excellent vision. When a storm comes, birds usually hide for shelter, but not eagles. They soar above the clouds. However, not by their own power-they just spread their wings, and let the wind carry them up!

This is a way that we can deal with our own "storms." We are able to catch the wind and rise above, through prayer and petition, and inquiring of the LORD.
