Perspective

       "They will soar on wings like eagles, 
         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.
