Soaring on Eagle’s Wings: Strength Renewed by the Lord 🕊️🦅

“But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles…” – Isaiah 40:31

Life can be a heavy burden. There are seasons when we feel like the weight of our past, the pain of the present, or the fear of the future clips our wings before we even get off the ground. But Isaiah 40:31 reminds us that there is a higher promise—a divine strength that is not our own. It’s a strength that lifts, renews, and empowers us to rise above it all.



The Power of Waiting on the Lord

The word “wait” in Hebrew (qavah) doesn’t just mean being idle—it implies hope, expectation, and trust. It’s a posture of the heart that says, “God, I believe You’re working even when I can’t see it.” Waiting on the Lord is not weakness; it is an act of spiritual strength and surrender. And when we choose to wait on Him—when we trust instead of panic, pray instead of rush, and believe instead of despair—God exchanges our weariness for His strength.

The Eagle: A Symbol of Divine Elevation

In Isaiah’s time, the eagle was known for its power, grace, and unmatched ability to soar above storms. When an eagle senses a storm approaching, it doesn’t flee. Instead, it uses the wind to lift itself higher—rising above the clouds where the air is calm and the view is clear. That’s what God does with us. He doesn’t always remove the storm, but He empowers us to rise above it. When we place our hope in Him, we no longer live under our circumstances—we rise above them.

The Song That Captures This Spirit: “I Believe You” by Megan Woods 🎶

Accompanying this visual of rising on eagle’s wings is the song “I Believe You” by Megan Woods. The lyrics are a declaration of trust in God’s promises, a cry from the heart that resonates deeply with the spirit of Isaiah 40:31. The music and message work together to paint a picture of transformation—from weakness to strength, from doubt to faith, from fear to freedom.

How This Applies to You

If you're reading this and feeling worn out, spiritually exhausted, or emotionally drained—this message is for you. God's Word promises that when you wait on Him, He will renew your strength. Not restore it to what it was, but renew it—make it new, deeper, and stronger than before.

Maybe you’re in recovery, in rehab, or fighting through depression or anxiety. Maybe you’re battling addiction, trying to reconnect with your children, or simply trying to hold onto hope. Whatever the case—God sees you. He promises not just to help you survive, but to help you soar.

A Prayer for Today 🙏

Lord Jesus, I come to You weary and burdened. I feel weak, but I trust in Your strength. Teach me to wait on You, to hope in You, and to believe that You are lifting me even now. Like the eagle, help me to rise above my fears and failures. I believe You are working, and I believe Your promises. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Final Thoughts

This message isn’t just a poetic metaphor—it’s a spiritual reality. You were never meant to walk alone. Through the power of Jesus, you can rise above addiction, depression, fear, and failure. You can fly—not in your own strength, but in His.

Keep trusting. Keep hoping. Keep soaring.

Faith, Recovery, and the Call to Share Hope: A Reflection on Mark 16:15-16 Introduction Recovery is a journey of transformation, hope, and renewal. It requires faith, perseverance, and a willingness to share our experiences with others. Mark 16:15-16 reminds us of Jesus’ command to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” This message speaks directly to the heart of recovery—just as we find healing through faith, we are also called to share our hope with others who are struggling. In this blog post, we will explore how this passage relates to recovery, the importance of belief and action, and how sharing our stories can help others break free from their own struggles. 1. The Connection Between Faith and Recovery At its core, recovery is about transformation. Whether overcoming addiction, trauma, or other personal battles, the process involves letting go of past pain and embracing a new way of life. Similarly, faith calls us to a journey of renewal—trusting in...

Be Strong & Courageous: Faith in Recovery | Joshua 1:9 Recovery is a journey filled with highs and lows, victories and struggles. Whether you're overcoming addiction, healing from past wounds, or trying to rebuild your life, the road can feel overwhelming. But in Joshua 1:9 , God gives us both a command and a promise : "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Let’s break this verse down and explore how it applies to recovery. 1. "Have I not commanded you?" – God’s Call to Strength This isn’t just a suggestion—it’s a command . God doesn’t ask if we feel strong enough or if we think we can handle it. He commands us to be strong because He knows we can be , not in our own power, but through Him. In recovery, strength is essential. The fight against addiction, self-doubt, and past mistakes is real. But when God commands us to be strong, He is als...

He Broke My Chains – And He Can Break Yours Too

Image
There was a time in my life when I felt completely lost—trapped in a cycle of addiction, shame, and hopelessness. I couldn’t see a way out. I wore a smile on the outside, but inside I was drowning. The chains of addiction were heavy, and I honestly believed I’d never be free. But then… God stepped in. He didn’t wait for me to clean myself up. He didn’t require perfection. He met me right in the middle of my brokenness, and He loved me there. And that love—it began to break things off me. It began to heal wounds I didn’t even know were still open. “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” – John 8:36 This verse isn’t just something I read… it’s something I’ve lived. Jesus didn’t just help me cope—He set me free. Fully, completely, miraculously free. I share this not to boast in myself, but to boast in Him. Because I know there are others reading this who feel the same way I once did. Maybe you’re in a dark place. Maybe the weight feels too heavy. Maybe you’ve convinced you...
