In
Scripture, God uses so many beautiful analogies to encourage His children. I
recently read this verse which compares an eagle and its young to God and his
own children:
(He cared for them)...like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers
over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them on its
pinions. Deut. 32:11

God
is prodding you to fly. He never meant you to stay in the comfort of His
"nest." In this place of safety, you learn from Him, and you begin to
mimic Him; but He means for you to soar.
You
may be at a crossroads of life, having to step out of your comfort zone into
the unknown; trust Him. Or, you may be in a new place of growth in your
walk with the Lord and He's asking you to share your faith, or to give up a
habitual sin, or forgive someone that you vowed never to forgive; again, mimic
Him, and trust Him as he strengthens your wings. Then, start flapping, and
following... and then... fly. Remember, He's watching over you. If you
begin to falter, He will be there to catch and comfort and carry you. Under His
care, you will learn to soar into new heights.
Will
you respond to His prodding? Or is it too risky? If you choose take this
new leap in your faith, God promises this:
But those that hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will
soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and
not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
