"Like an eagle arousing its nest hovering over its young; he spreads his wings, he takes it, he carries it on his wings." (Deuteronomy 32:11)
What is it about eagles that they carry their young on their wings?
Other birds carry their young from place to place in their talons because they fear the eagle which soars over them, but the eagle fears nothing but the arrow, so it carries its young on its wing to protect them from attack from below.
But how do the young get on the back of the eagle?
Other birds are picked up by the talons in which they are held during flight...but what about the eaglets?
To be assured of the safe journey provided by the powerful parent, they have to jump on.
They have to make the move that puts them into the position of safety.
So, too, we have to "jump on", making the commitment to cling to our Father and His Word while He shields us from danger."
Can we do that or do we just "chicken out"?
