they run and notgrow weary,
They will walknand not be faint."
Isaiah 40: 31
Birds overcome the lower law of gravity by higher
Law of flight. And what is true for birds is true for
Souls. Souls that soar on wings like eagle over---
Come the lower law of sin and death, Hannah---
Whitall smith writes, "The law of the spirit of life in
Christ Jesus' must necessarily be a higher and
More dominant law than the law of sin and death
therefore, the soul that has mounted into this upper
Region of the life in Christ cannot fail to conquer
And triumph."
Why is it then that so many Christians fail to
Conquer? Perhaps it's because we fail to mount
Up and soar with wings and choose instead to
live on the same low level as our trials. Little wonder
we blunder when the battleground we choose is on
An earthly plane. Christians are powerless there, that
Is, unless they shift to a higher battleground and
choose weapons of warfare that are spiritual.
What we need is perspective. We need to see
what birds see. When, like eagles, we soar on wings,
trials look extraordinarily different. When viewed from
their own level, trials look like impassable walls, but
when viewed from above, the wall appears as a thin
line, something easily overcome.
You have wings, you don't need stronger,
Betterones. You don't need more wings,
Or larger ones. You posses all that you
Need to gain a heavenly perspective on
Your trials and thereby overcome. A
Passive or inactively trust in the Lord
Won't do. To use your wings is to actively
Trust in God.
Lord, I dont want to trust You in theory or
In word only. I want my trust in you to be
As active and as strenuous as "mounting
up with wings." As I do thank You for the
Higher, heavenly perspective you give me
Over my trials.
