Day 91: I believe We Can Fly
Read: Isaiah 40:21 - 31
Ever thought about how cool it would be, to be able to fly? I mean you
with just your body, soaring above the earth; you, banking over the
forests; you skimming over the rivers; you darting through the canyons;
you breathing deeply in the fresh air of free and effortless flight!
Almost everybody at one time or another has wondered what it would be
like to fly like a bird, If not at the present, then at least when you
were only a kid you probably thought about it. Slowly coming back to
earth and you remember that you can never break the laws of gravity.
There seems to be something heavier.
Perhaps it’s not just
gravity that seems to be holding you down, but everything. For as your
mind comes back on line and you think about the things that lie behind,
that lie directly in front of you and those things that lie ahead, your
shoulders will visibly slump as if you were actually carrying something.
There may not be anything visible to the eye, but it feels real. Truth
is, you are carrying something, probably many.
There are
burdens that bring there own gravity to life, burdens that don’t show up
on bathroom scale. But you can still detect them. You can detect them
in your face made weary by what it has endured. You can detect them in
eyes made sad by what they have seen. There are work issues. There are
family issues, the people you love. You see your parents getting older;
perhaps becoming infirm. You see your children struggling in this or
that. Perhaps you’ve hit a rough patch in your marriage. Someone you
know is dying or has already succumbed. Yep, there will be no flying
today.
And yet, what does the text say? “....but those who hope
in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like
eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be
faint.” Perhaps we spoke too soon! The Lord says that we can “soar on
wings like eagles!” I don’t know about you, but he’s got my attention!
He is suggesting that there is a way to overcome the gravity of our
lives, a way to lighten our loads, a way rise above it all. Has he got
your attention? He certainly has mine!
“Do you not Know? Have
you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God,....He will not grow
tired and weary and his understanding no one can fathom.” “He gives
strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. “ “Those who
hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like
Eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be
faint.” God wants you to soar. And the way it happens is through the
changing of perspective. When you begin to entrust your life to him
instead of yourself your perspective is changed. Everything in life is
dwarfed against the largeness and authority of the Lord. Gravity is
overcome by faith!
Let us pray: Lord, in the midst of all those
things of life that keep me grounded, work with me, come alongside of
me, help me to change my worldly perspectives. Help me to overcome the
gravity of my life, help me to lighten my load, place before me a way to
rise above it as Jesus Christ rose above the grave. Lord, I truly
believe I can fly!
