Painful lessons
Have you observed how an eagle teaches its young to fly ?
First the eaglet climbs into his mother’s wing and holds on tightly. Soon his mother flutters her wings, flips upside down and shakes the poor eaglet loose, dropping her young ones onto the air.
The mother circles the dropping eaglet, catching him on her wing, and begins the process again. Over time, the eaglet becomes strong enough to fly on its own.
God does the same for His people. He asks that we step out in faith and hold firmly on to His promises, even when things look impossible. When we trust Him, we will soar !!
Deuteronomy 32 : 11
Like an eagle that rouses her chicks and hovers over her young, so he spread his wings to rake them in and carried them aloft on his pinions
