"They shall mount up with wings as eagles." Isaiah 40:31
A friend of mine has this title on her business card. In the devotional book, Streams in the Valley, Mrs. Charles Cowman writes of rising above the circumstances and having a bird's-eye view. We saw dozens of eagles soaring high above us over our raft on a river in Alaska.
"The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."Rom.8:18
Last night at the Riverbend Festival we met some divine appointments, people struggling with regrets after choosing an abortion, the suffering was manifest in many tears as they walked into our booth. But the purpose of our ministry at the Memorial for the Unborn is to proclaim the freedom that forgiveness in Jesus brings to those who are hurting and invite them to visit the Wall of Remembrance.
This devotional reminds us the eagle has a strong wing to fly high above the hurts and disappointments. And the Word of God reminds us in Isaiah that it is those who "wait upon the Lord, who will renew their strength".
Have mercy on us, O Lord, we are helpless and hurting without You. Amen.
