Soarin'

This morning as I was spending time with God, He spiritually took me up and I felt like I was flying like a bird. I was weightless (first time - surprise! surprise!) and the Lord showed me all of these people who were struggling through life. Those in Swaziland, the homeless, the kids in the sex traffic trade, those without food or shelter, the hurting, the downcast. As I was flying above, my heart sank as I witnessed and saw the horror of these atrocities. But as the Lord was taking me through this experience, I sensed a calm and peace. That our heavenly Father will take care of the evil and every wrong doing that is going on in this world. I felt a sense of freedom and assurance that He will prevail.

With the breeze all around me and experiencing this freedom as I floated along in the air with the Lord, this verse from Isaiah 40:29-31 came to mind:

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who 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.

The Lord is good and there's nothing He can't do. I pray that each of you reading this would be encouraged. May it be etched in your hearts that with God you can and will be able to soar on wings like eagles!

Blessings,
