The Bald Eagle is America’s national bird, a symbol of the majesty and authority our country represents.
In May 1976 the Steve Miller Band released a song, Fly Like an Eagle. One phrase in the chorus says, “Fly like an eagle, let my spirit carry me.”
The Steve Miller song wasn’t a gospel one, but the emotional impact of the words was uplifting, much as the voice of the prophet in Isaiah 40:31:
“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
Are you supercharged, yet? Is your heart pumping? Do you feel the power in this verse?
We will renew our strength!
All weakness will fall away! We are mighty in God!
We will mount up with wings like eagles!
The mighty eagle lives in the high places, the inaccessible crags, the locations others can’t access. When the eagle wants to move, it simply leaps, and its wings carry it over danger.
We will run and not be weary!
We can chase after the promises of God, and we will secure them. We will find our success in our Lord. There will be no failure that can daunt us.
We will walk and not faint!
Some days will be long, and we’ll wonder where God has gone. That’s when the strength we have in our Lord empowers us to continue in faith and hope in the promise of the cross.
Like that Steve Miller song says, we need to fly like an eagle until we’re free: free in the strength of God, free to soar over the dangers of life, free to find success in God, and free to claim the promise of the cross.
We live on eagle’s wings when we live in the truth of Christ.
