During some seasons of life it seems like the storms of life chase us, right? No matter what you do, difficulties keep popping up left and right like a game of whac-a-mole. When these times happen, God always comforts me in the neatest ways. These last few months have been one stormy game of whac-a-mole, but without the cool tickets to turn in at the prize counter. Well, even though I haven’t gotten any prize tokens, God has given me the best gifts. On two particular tough days, God allowed me to brave these storms with the original storm chasers: bald eagles. As I was driving one swooped right in front of me and flew by the side of my car. On the other day, I looked up ahead of me and there it was gliding right above me.
Did you know that when other birds cower to the storm, the bald eagle flies right into it excitedly. God actually made them that way. Their wings hold firm as the winds keep coming. I’m learning that’s how he’s made us too. We can rise up as God says, just like the eagle. Storms will come, but I’m thankful for God’s reminders that we can weather those storms together. Don’t be afraid of the storm. Fly right in!
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.
Isaiah 40:31
