Deuteronomy 32:10-11
He discovered them in a desert land - in desolation; a howling wilderness. He encircled them, He gave them wisdom, He guarded them like the pupil of His eye. Like the eagle arousing its nest - hovering over its young; it spreads out its wings and takes them, it carries them on its wings.
When the eagle wakes up its children, it doesn't do so suddenly, so as not to shock them. Rather, it gently hovers over its nest as they sleep, its wings beating softly against the nearby trees and branches, until slowly they are aroused.
Most birds carry their young in their feet, for they fear the attack of the mighty eagle from above. But the eagle, who fears from no other fowl, carries its young upon its wings, thus protecting them from the arrows of the hunters below.
The eagle arouses its youth with great gentleness and care; but it doesn't let them sleep.
If we go to sleep with a sense of purpose we wake up on purpose...

Tho' riding tattered and in the beginning confused, it is good to ride on His wings in His purpose, refreshed.
