We all are familiar with one situation or the other that makes us complain, we vent our frustrations and dissatisfactions towards unpleasant circumstances. Complaint, is the first reaction for many people when we are faced with complicated issues.
Life is full of ups & downs, good & bad, high & low times, rich & poor times, filled & famished moments. Nothing is certain in this world of ours; the fickleness of time is our ever present reality; we were not promised a life with bed of roses or a smooth sail.
However, we must make the best of every moment & situation whether pleasant or unpleasant to come out as better people. Let’s take a cue from the eagle and use the force of the wind to soar high, 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. 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.
