Videos to meditate on:  Eagles Flying

The Eagle is mentioned thirty one times in the bible and for many years has been seen as a symbol of beauty, bravery, courage, honour, pride, determination and grace. It enjoys a reputation as “King of Birds” and the North American Bald Headed Eagle is the national symbol of the United States of America.

The scripture for today tells us “but those who hope in the Lord, will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles;

Let’s consider seven attributes of eagles in this two part series:

Eagles have keen vision - The eagle's eyes can see great distances. An eagle will sit high above the tree or cliff of a stiff mountain very attentively. The body sits still and the head will be tilted side to side to observed what is happening below, around and above it. Eagles have a keen vision. Their eyes are specially designed for long distance focus and clarity. They can spot another eagle soaring from 50 miles away. As a women we should not be nearsighted, instead should have a vision and long term goals that directs our lives spiritually, financially and physically. These goals should be clear and focused.

Eagles are Tenacious (Resolute) - When other birds fly away from the storm with fear, an eagle spreads its mighty wings and uses the current to soar to greater heights. The eagle takes advantage of the very storm that lesser birds fear and head for cover. As women we are faced with challenges every day, we should do like the eagle and allow our challenges to take us to greater levels in life. Instead of fearing challenges, we should embrace them, learn from them and become stronger by them.

Eagles Never Eat Dead Meat - An eagle never eats dead meat. In other words, an eagle does not scavenge. It only eats the meat from the prey it kills itself. We might have some dead areas and negative people in our lives, like the eagle let’s not focus on those, instead find people who are who are vibrant and liberal in thinking to spend time with. Learn from them make informed decisions and take actions. There is a saying that goes like this, "People you hang around with and the books you read eventually determines the person you become"

Have a God filled Day Ladies. Soar like Eagles.
