Chapter 36
Good Monday Morning to this week 36 of 2021 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stood alone on a mountain top, starin\u2019 down. I could go east, I could go west, it was all up to me to decide. Just then I saw a young hawk flyin\u2019 and my soul began to rise. B Seger
This Saturday I got two messages from two friends. Both were within one hour from each other and contained their current observation of hawks. One was a video showing a hawk, circling wildly around a few trees that were in great motion because of the wind. The second was an observation of four, then three then two hawks coming from the bushes. The four birds rose, then one left, three returned, finally two remained and were engaged in a fight or struggle right above the observers head very near an open field where the person observed.
If it\u2019s wild to your own heart, protect it, preserve it, love it and fight for it. Dedicate yourself to it, whether it\u2019s a mountain range, an activity or a relationship. It doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s wild to anyone else: if it\u2019s what makes your heart sing if it\u2019s what makes your days soar like a hawk in the summertime, then focus on it. Because for sure, it\u2019s wild, and if it\u2019s wild, it\u2019ll mean you\u2019re still free. R. Bass
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40.31
In the Barnes Commentary, I quote: But they that wait upon the Lord \u2013 The word denotes properly to wait, in the sense of expecting. The phrase, \u2018to wait on Yahweh,\u2019 means to wait for his help; that is, to trust in him, to put our hope or confidence in him. Shall renew their strength or to change. The Hebrew word commonly means to change, to alter; and then to revive, to renew, to cause to flourish again. They shall mount up with wings as eagles \u2013 \u2018They shall put forth fresh feathers like the moulting eagle;\u2019 and in his note on the passage remarks, that \u2018it has been a common and popular opinion that the eagle lives and retains his vigour to a great age; and that, beyond the common lot of other birds, he moults in his old age, and renews his feathers, and with them his youth. \u2019So that thy youth is renewed like the eagles,\u2019 refers to this fact a common and popular opinion among the ancients. The opinion was, that at stated times the eagle plunged itself in the sea and cast off its old feathers, and that new feathers started forth, and that thus it lived often to the hundredth year, explaining the meaning of \u2018They shall put forth fresh feathers like eagles.
Let us rise to the challenges of this week \u2013 with the rising wind of God and the fresh feathers of faith!
