The
mother eagle teaches her little ones to fly
by
making their nest so uncomfortable that they are forced to leave it
and
commit themselves to the unknown world of air outside.
And
just so does our God to us.
He
stirs up our comfortable nests,
and
pushes us over the edge of them,
and
we are forced to use our wings to save ourselves from fatal falling.
Read
your trials in this light,
and
see if you cannot begin to get a glimpse of their meaning.
Your
wings are being developed.
