The Word of the Lord is a light to guide you, a counsellor to counsel you, a comforter to comfort you, a staff to support you, a sword to defend you, and a physician to cure you. The Word is a mine to enrich you, a robe to clothe you, and a crown to crown you.
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and
Renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
Make a new heart in me, My God! Create it out of Your Pureness! (2 Cor. 5:17) Make my heart brand new so that it is totally pure and without anything bad. Dear God, make a new and faithful spirit inside of me. Give me Your Holy Spirit that I may be faithful to you in all things!! (John 3:1-21) Have my heart stick to you no matter what comes my way!!
Isa40:31a: but those who hope in the Lord, will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. Psm 40:1,2 103:3-5 Eph4:22,23
1Pe5:7 Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. Mt11:28-30
Are you in a season of limited heighth due to circumstances: feeling weak, struggles daily, lost confidence, depressed, defeated? Did someone hurt you, are the memories weighing you down, you can't get past it:
Overtime, eagles talons become blunt, calcifications form on their beaks, and feathers become worn. Eagles head for the high places in the mountains, closer to the "Son." for a process of rejuvention. First they cast out all their dull and worn feathers that are limiting their heights and abilities. They then seek out a cool refreshing mountain stream to wash the worldly weight, dirt off. Renewed and clean: the eagle then stands before the "Son."
Many of us retreat into ourselves. For eagles, retreat is not an answer. Rejuvinate & Renew! "Cast out" your problems, worrys, sorrows, fears: cast them on the Lord. Pull out those worn weathered feathers: thoughts, feelings, and memories that weigh you down, limiting your heighth. PULL THEM OUT AND CAST THEM! Whisper: Natural pain, spiritual gains. Then, wash your minds clean with the cool mountain streams of Gods living water. Jn4:10,14
Do not submit to circumstances, but submit to the Lord who controls them. YSIC Brown Eagle
Ecc 3:1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.
There are no dead ends, just crossroads of a new season searching for a different direction.
Retirement is the crossroads of ones lifes journey where tracks at last intersect. One set of tracks is complete and now one finds themselves in a new season of direction. Sadly, for a few, they come up to this intersection and have to stop and wait. They had only traveled one set of tracks for years. Continuing on is not easy for them, because they now find themselves needing to set new tracks down first. They find themselves at a loss and for a few, alone at this point of their journey. Ecc 4:8
During ones journey, travel many sets of tracks, "ALL RUNNING PARALLEL". Work "right beside" the tracks of Christ, family, scouts, church, volunteering, recitals, swim meets, to name a few of ones possible dedications and commitments.
The key in finding balance is Ecc 4:12b,"a chord of three strands is not easily broken." ( Lord, could this possibly apply to three sets of tracks?) We are not to isolate ourselves and travel alone. The I think "I can, I think I cans" turn into I know "we" cans. Whisper: One cannot stop season changes, but the Lord has equipped us with Himself and others "beside" us to see us through. YSIC Brown Eagle
For the leaves to change...it takes the "Son" and the rain.
Col 1:29 To this end I labor, struggling with all "His" energy, which so powerfully works in me.
It's been said...."I have done it again, I've messed up, ruined, failed, or destroyed what I worked so hard to do/accomplish/build/change. " Even Paul struggled with this on sin. Rom 7:15-25 Whisper...The answer is within the sentence... that "I" worked so hard to build. What we do or build weather it be relationships, behaviors, spiritually...with our own hands seems to end up many times going in the wrong directions, ending up in huge knots.
Our motives, abilities and strengths are not enough. How can it work when the motives in our heart sets out Spiritually , yet we step out to work it naturally? "I" got it...."I" can do this on my own. Sooner or later the "I" is going to run out of energy. Natural power is unable to run without a source. Same is true Spiritually. God is our power source! Without light there is no life, only darkness. Jn 8:12 We cannot continue to press on, without Christ and being fed. We must remain plugged in. This isn't once a week but daily, recharged through Christ and His word. Changes will occur. ***The I cannots will transform into He can.*** We need to learn to rest in Christs strengths, power, and grace. 2Cor9a But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." 1Co 2:4,5 15:10 Zec 4:6 Hos 1:7
Whisper...I haven't seen any knot yet that the Lord hasn't been able to undo.
In Christ, Brown Eagle
Some birds get very comfortable in their nests. Same church pew seat week after week, same parking space, same friends, same pair of shoes, same calender of events, same restaurants, same way on cooking that chicken, same routine...same same same same, same. "Same" prohibits season changes and growth.
Deut 32:11 "like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them on its pinions." , the Lord alone led....
1 Corinthians 3:1,2 Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. (1 Peter 2:2,3) (growth was needed)
God knows our comfortable lives can be an anchor to our souls.
Eph. 4:15 grow up into Him Ecc. 3:1 to everything there is a season 2 Cor. 3:18 from glory to glory
2 Pet. 3:18 grow in grace and knowledge Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go, I will counsel you and watch over you. Lam. 64:8 Yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter, we are all the work of your hand.
Today for some, may be that season for a leap of faith out of that comfort zone. Christ is right there with you. In Him, we will trust! Take that leap of faith! Soar my friend, Soar! In Christ and to His Glory, Brown Eagle.
Is your spiritual height limited? Not seeing much growth lately? Are things weighing you down?
Proverbs 12:18...Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Vices Gal. 5:19-21 Virtues Gal. 5:22, 23
When another makes a negative comment, judgement, statement, opionion... so many times we either believe it or take it to heart. Unkind words spoken hurt, weigh us down, wound the soul, and leave us in pain with years of echos. Psm. 64:3
If we were able to look at it through Spiritual eyes....weigh it on the scale of Christs love and Gal. 5:22 the fruit of the Spirit...(including even discipline and correction)...it should carry much weight. If it was said to us in anger, jelousy, pride...it should carry little weight... but for many of us its weight is opposite.
In prayer and with the Lords guidance and direction...we need to pull the feathers (hurtful words) that weigh us down and discard them. We need to replace them with the Lords words of truth and His words that bring life.
Lord, my prayer lifted is that You mend our wings and carry each of us to new Spiritual heights in You. Ex. 19:4 Psm. 18:33 Isa. 61:1-3 Matt. 11:28,29
Soar my friend Soar. In Christ and to His glory, Brown Eagle
