EAGLES KNOW WHEN A STORM APPROACHES
-
September 21, 2021Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks?
The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come.
When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.
The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.
When the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will experience them - we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God. The storms do not have to overcome us.
We can allow God's power to lift us above them. God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm.
Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them. The Bible says, "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles." lsaiah 40:31

PEACE
Do not anticipate the mishaps of
this life by worrying about them
beforehand; instead, prepare for
them by a perfect hope that as they
occur, God to whom you belong,
will deliver you from them. He has
kept you till now; you have only
to hold fast to the hand of his
providence and he will help you
on every occasion, and where you
cannot walk, he will carry you. Do
not think about what will happen
tomorrow, for the same eternal
Father who takes care of you today
will take care of you tomorrow and
always. Either he will not send you
misfortune, or if he does, he will
give you unconquerable courage
to bear it. Live in peace, and put
out of your imagination whatever
can trouble you.Saint Frances de Sales
