Carried On Eagles Wings

You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. (Exodus 19:4 NIV).

Once I remember as a child I feigned being asleep. My father picked me up and I squeezed my eyes tighter. I wanted to feel his strong arms lift me up and carry me up the stairs to my bed. There was a strong sense of protection and security in those arms. He slowly made his way up the stairs, each foot step firm and well planted on the old creaky stairs leading up to my bedroom. My father gently lowered me into bed then pulled the covers over me. This time I feel asleep in a peaceful bliss of a father's care.

Through the years, the Father is teaching me to let Him carry me. Yes, at times, He wants me to stand in midst of difficulty and opposition. Other times, He says let me carry you.

As I continue to drive toward the East Coast, hour after hour I listen to the car with a keen ear. This same car brought us to West Coast 14 years ago from Florida, now we are traveling to the Eastern seaboard. A lot of work was put into the car to prepare for the trip, but still there is an anxiety that wants to overcome me. Some of the roads stretch for miles with no place to go for help should the car break down. Cell phone coverage can be spotty or none existent.

In the night as the headlights of passing cars flood the vehicle then leave us in a wake of pitch blackness, the Lord whispers, Let me carry you. I'll take you to the place where I have called you.

Beloved, let the Lord carry you on eagle's wings. He can cause you to soar and take you further than if you were to try in your own strength to walk or stand. All He wants is your willingness to yield to His loving arms in complete trust. He won't drop you but you can be secured and protected in those mighty arms of God.
