The Word says: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee" (Isaiah 26:3)
You o' Lord are high and lifted up. As we look to you, May WE be high and lifted up, Lord. May we fly like the eagle... May we soar above all that comes into our lives, knowing we can trust in you...

A WORD OF TESTIMONY (6/6/2008)
I was encouraging myself in the Lord today, and listened to my own song here...comtemplating...amazed that amidst even the most severe trials, believers can FLY above what would weigh other people down, for if our eyes are on Jesus and we, in faith, head into the storm unafraid, facing it, not running from the trial or testing...GOD then gives us LIFT...he takes his wind under our wings, as our energy exhausts and we finally realize that no amount of flapping of the wings is even possible as we begin a dive...only to discover HE IS THERE.
This is GREAT GRACE...that which I've asked for much lately.
I realize as the Eagle need not FLAP HIS WINGS, but spread them to the wind... SO WE must just stop our efforts and let him do the work of it. That's what soaring is...HE DOING IT...and our simply cooperating in obedience, and by choice, as he gives us daily help.
Oh that we would not have to be tested and tried to discover this. But I dare say, that unless a storm comes our way on occasion, we aren't aware that the wind is ours to soar upon. We do things in our own strength. We exhaust ourselves. We aren't able to do anything apart from HIM...
I say, "THANK YOU LORD...FOR THE ABILITY TO SOAR...IS FROM YOU."
AMEN....
