“On Eagles’ Wings”
Tuesday, March 26, 2024Key Verse
“Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.” Exodus 19.4
Text — Exodus 19:1-6
Message
The eagle is said to be the fastest bird on earth. It can fly as far as you can imagine and never gets tired. It also has sharp eyes that can see from a very far distance. It is also big in stature and has a sharp mouth and a wide wing to carry the young ones. You can now see the reason why God explained to the children of Israel how He carried them on eagles’ wings.
As the mother eagle carries her young chicks on her wings to keep them from crashing while learning to fly, so God was caring for Israel and bringing her not just to the promised land, but close to Himself. This demonstrates God’s love for Israel and for everyone today who is a child of God. This show of love serves as the basis for our obedience and responsibility in keeping His word. God is awesome and good to all His children. Are you a child of God? If you are, then trust Him and do not fear. He will always bear you on eagles’ wings and you will never fall. If you are not sure of your salvation, repent now, ask God to forgive you your sins and wash you clean with the blood of Jesus. This is the first step to get access to God’s protection.
