,
We like this poor young
eagle, were put in a lowly barn with the chickens of the world around us. We
learned to live and eat from the ground and grew up believing that there was
not much more to do than sit and cluck all day. The reality is that we are
eagles - we were created to fly and even soar! God has great purpose for our
lives! If we would only realize who we are in Him! Let's remember who we are
today and stop acting like chickens! We are the head and not the tail! We are Kings
and Priests - we have great things to do for the Kingdom of God

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be
weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. -
Isaiah 40:31
While
walking through the forest one day, a farmer found a young eagle who had
apparently fallen out of his nest.
He
took it home and put it in his barnyard with his chickens and there it stayed
for years.
It
wasn't long before the little eagle learned to eat and behave like the
chickens.
One
day a naturalist passed by the farm and saw the eagle confined in the barnyard
with the chickens.
When
he inquired about this strange sight, the farmer told the man his story.
"Unfortunately," said the farmer, "the poor little guy just
never learned to fly."
"Still," the naturalist sighed, "he has the heart of an eagle and can
surely be taught. Will you allow me to work with him?"
The
farmer agreed, but with much disbelief.
The naturalist picked up the eagle and lifted him
toward the sky and said, "You belong to the sky and not to the earth.
Stretch forth your wings and fly."
The
eagle, however, was confused.
He
did not know who he was, and seeing the chickens eating their food, he jumped
down to be with them again.
The naturalist took the bird to the roof of the house
and urged him again, saying, "You are an eagle. Stretch forth your
wings and fly."
But
the eagle was afraid and jumped down once again to be with his chicken friends.
Finally,
the naturalist took the eagle out of the barnyard to a high mountain.
There he held the king of the birds high above him and
encouraged him again, saying, "You are an eagle. You belong to the sky.
Stretch forth your wings and fly!"
The
eagle looked around, back towards the barnyard and then up to the sky.
Slowly,
he stretched his wings, and with a triumphant cry, he soared away into the
heavens.
Somewhere
along the line, we like this poor young eagle, were put in a lowly barn with
the chickens of the world around us.
We learned to live and eat from the ground and grew up believing that there was not much more to do than sit and cluck all day.
But
the reality is that we are eagles!
We
were created to fly and even soar!
God
has great purpose for our lives! If we would only realize who we are in Him!
Let's
remember who we are today and stop acting like chickens!
We
are the head and not the tail!
We
are Kings and Priests!
We have great things to do for the Kingdom!
