"Like an eagle that stirs up its nest." Deuteronomy 32:11 NIV
In Evan Eagle's Need a Push, David McNally describes a mother eagle teaching her young to fly: "The eagle gently coaxed her offspring toward the edge of the nest. Her heart quivered with conflicting emotions as she felt their resistance to her persistent nudging. 'Why does the thrill of soaring have to begin with the fear of falling?'...The ageless question was still unanswered for her...Her nest was located high on a shelf of sheer rock face. Below there was nothing but air to support the wings of each child. 'Is it possible that this time it will not work?' she thought. Despite her fears, the eagle knew it was time. Her parental missions was all but complete. There remained one final task--the push. The eagle drew courage from innate wisdom. Until her children discovered their wings, there was no purpose for their lives. Until they learned how to soar, they would fail to understand the privilege it was to hang been born an eagle. The push was the greatest gift she had to offer...her supreme act of love. And so one by one she pushed them, and they flew!" The Bible says, "Like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them...The Lord...led him' (v. 11-12 NIV). Is God pushing you out of your comfort zone? Have you. lost your job and your financial security? Or a relationship you thought would last a lifetime? Do you feel like you're being pushed out of your nest and over the cliff's edge? Don't be afraid; God will catch you. Better yet--He will teach you to fly.
