Isaiah 40:31
“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.” KJV

One of the most important attributes any Christian can possess is a teachable spirit. A spirit that is in tune with what God is saying in private and through others. The eagle is one of God’s ways of communicating good Christian values to us.

Following is a recap of each Christian value the eagle teaches us.

1. Ancient Raptor --- Satan distorts what God created for good. Isaiah 40:31

2. Watchful --- Be watchful and diligent protecting loved ones. Deut 32:11

3. Vision --- Remain focused no matter what the obstacles. Joel 2:28

4. Manna --- Find fresh Manna, your spiritual life depends on it. Revelation 2:17b

5. Soaring --- Soar over storms and use adversity to your advantage. Acts 2:2

6. Trust --- God trusts us and expects us to pick trusting people. Ezekiel 17:7

7. Preparation --- Father and Mother prepare the future in harmony. Luke 1:17b

8. Training --- Train, remove and release children for Christian life. Proverbs 22:6

9. Shedding --- Shed old habits and ideas that hold us back with God. John 3:7

10. Primer --- A teachable spirit is necessary for God to work in us. Isaiah 40:31

Father, thank you for creating the eagle and giving us the Bible to learn your ways. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
