Do you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before
it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds
to come.
When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up
and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is
soaring above it. The eagle does not escape the storm.
When the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will experience
them - we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward
God. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to
lift us above them.
God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness,
tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the
storm.
Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we
handle them.
