Victory

Protection and Provision

Scripture uses the eagle in quite a range of imagery. A bird of prey bringing fierce and swift unstoppable judgement to devour its prey and who is also a symbol of nuteror and protector for her young. All of these images have the idea of unthwarted and sure victory. If one is acquainted with Scriptures, you will certainly call to mind God's bearing His people "on eagles wings" (Exodus 19:4) and causing them to "mount up with wings like eagles" (Isaiah 40:31). Such words stir the heart.

The eagle in flight is a picture of serene beauty and majestic strength who soars to heights unknown with matchless power and grace.  One may hope to catch a glimpse of the majestic bird in flight. Her young dwell in nests secure on high. She covers her young with her wings. What a beautiful symbolic picture the Bible uses of protection and provision. 

And so it is with the work of the Lord, When He comes in judgment against His enemies, none can withstand. When He secures us and covers us with His protection, we are safe indeed and nothing can snatch us away from him. When He upholds our spirit in times of trial, none can pull us down. And when he saves, he does so to the uttermost with absolute and unfettered victory. 

Lord, I come to you with a humble heart. I am in awe of the way you give protection and provision to those that are yours. You hold us in your hands. You hem us in on every side. There isn't anywhere that I can go that you are not there watching and protecting me. I fall on my knees in worship of my God and my Savior. Thank you for Jesus Christ. Thank you for gathering your children to yourself and hiding us under your wing of provision and protection. It is in Jesus name I pray, amen.
