“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 KJV
I had preached about ‘The Corner’ happening at Church on Sunday. Where, as we stood out on the busy intersection on the Friday before, holding ‘Jesus Signs,’ suddenly 2 eagles appeared overhead. The 5 of us just stood there, with mouths wide open, at the implication of what was happening! We all knew the verse and yet, we wondered still!
It was Thursday, yesterday, and a lot had happened in a few days. I had gotten sick. BAD! So sick that I couldn’t even get out of bed to make it to the corner Wednesday morning or for our regular Bible Study on Wednesday night! I was feeling 75% better though, and having delivered some papers to a friend, I was on my way home when it happened…again!
The light at ‘The Corner’ turned yellow, which forced me to stop! Leaning my head against the window, something caught my eye. As I focused, I was shocked, but not! There it was AGAIN! An Eagle came from behind me and began encircling ‘The Corner’! And as if on a God like cue, ANOTHER one joined in. As I sensed and thanked God, we sat together and watched them fly!
Throughout my life God has blessed me with Eagles and Rainbows at some pretty difficult times in my life. Now some might think me nuts, and that’s OK. All I know is what I know. That DOESN’T mean that when YOU see one, it means the same for you! But in some of my darkest hours, my eyes have been drawn to the sky to SEE verification for my Faith. And that is even weird for me to say! It is unexplainable, yet needs no explanation! Because I’ve got it…I get it!
These days are filled with the ridiculous. As right is made wrong and wrong right, I am FORCED to make a decision as to WHAT and WHOM I will believe and rest my life upon. Having made that decision long ago, it isn’t that hard to keep doing what I’ve been doing all along. Even though the world may think me nuts!
I Love Jesus Christ! I don’t need signs and wonders to function. But neither do I turn them down, when they come! The Bible says things are going to get tougher, and that God’s Truth will be attacked, along with those who believe in Him. My responsibility is to remain in Him and keep looking up! HE will do the rest!
So… what do YOU see… and KNOW FOR SURE?
