But waiting on the Lord like eagles - like Esther - we must put our brakes on and spread our powerful wings of authority to accomplish what needs to be done. She stopped to listen, fast, pray, and humble herself. She was ruling as queen and “had it made.” But for Queen Esther to save her people, she had to move out of her comfort zone, spread her wings of authority and put the brakes on.

We find a great example of this kind of power and control with Queen Esther. We have the power and authority within us to do this. Like an eagle puts the brakes on, we have to put the brakes on to not only deal with the situation, but to also put the brakes on any strife or contention that may try to arise. For us to be successful in our relationships, we have to be ready and willing to interrupt our flight and put the brakes on. There’s a problem, maybe a very serious problem. Then all of the sudden you see something that needs extra attention. Say, for example, you are moving along quite nicely in your day - everything is going well and you’re getting done all that needs to be done. Likewise, in our relationships with other people, especially difficult people, there might be times we have to put the brakes on. This instantaneous spreading of their wings acts like brakes to slow their flight speed so they will be able to catch and secure their food. While diving at 200 miles per hour to get their food, something miraculous happens: At 15 feet away from their desired meal, their wings instantly spread out and their sharp talons come out. When they see their prey from far up in the sky with their powerful eyesight, they dive down to attack the prey.

We can see deeper into the situation, and with the wisdom of God, know what needs to be said (or not said), and extend that person grace.Īnd some eagles can fly at speeds of 200 miles per hour. In a tense situation if someone was railing on you, it would be natural to want to rail right back. But God gives you and me eyes to see with understanding and mercy through the power of the Holy Spirit. Eagles can see five times better than humans. Even in the fiercest of storms, He is making adjustments in us to keep us as steady as a rock. When something hits us and tries to knock us out of our place or maybe tries to steal our joy or our peace, the mighty Holy Spirit on the inside of us acts like a shock absorber, and instead of being thrown around, we stay steady.Ī direct quote from On Eagles Wings says, “In conditions which would be difficult for a man to stand, an eagle can hover as steady as a rock, the wing tips moving constantly and automatically to make adjustments to the air currents.”įriend, that’s you and me! We can be just like that eagle if we are waiting on, leaning in, and listening to the Holy Spirit. So, if we are waiting on the Lord, drawing on the power of the Holy Spirit in us, we are like the eagles’ wings which have shock absorbers. The eagles’ feathers are tapered at the tips to form slots, and these slots act like shock absorbers. Aircraft designers have been unsuccessful in trying to copy the eagles’ slotted-wing structure. Other birds are thrown and tossed around by these powerful winds - but not the eagle. The eagle is such an accomplished flier that he can soar above the storms and even cyclonic conditions with complete mastery of flight. Today I want to focus on the part of this verse that says we will “mount up with wings like eagles.” But let me pause for just a moment to give credit to Col Stringer’s beautiful book On Eagles Wings where I gathered some of the information I used in this letter. In Isaiah, there is a beautiful yet powerful verse that says, “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31). Today I want to write to you about the power of waiting on the Lord.
