FLYING ABOVE THE STORMS

FLYING ABOVE THE STORMS

Did you know that an eagle knows when the 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; it simply uses the storm to lift it

higher. It rises on the winds that bring 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.
