Devotionals
I am declaring this year 2017 as the ‘year of the Eagle’, as I believe it is God’s calling for us to soar and rise above that which has held us back, not only in 2016 but in the years before as well. In order for an Eagle to fly it must first open its wings. Bette Midler’s song “The wind beneath my wings” comes to mind and as I meditate on what it means to soar and rise above I realize that there are certain necessary components in order for our lives to take flight.
We are no more and no less the sum total of:
Our surrendered will and obedience to God + God at work within us + Those who stand beside us = The person we have become through the result of these choices.
We must first choose to surrender to the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives, for God is a gentlemen and will never force His will on us. Once we have surrendered our will to God, He is able to work in our lives to heal the inner wounds we may carry in our souls, to build character and strengthen us as we grow in Him. Those whom we choose to walk beside us will either strengthen or weaken our relationship with God dependant on the influence we allow them to have in our lives. The net result will be a product of the combination of these aspects and how we have allowed them to shape us.
In order to take flight we need to be: Surrendered to God; open to His working within our lives and connected to the right people. When we have this strong combination we will certainly grow in our relationship with God in leaps and bounds and we will see His will beautifully manifested within us.
Will you choose to allow God to work in you so that you can soar to greater heights?
