THE EAGLE – NOT THE OYSTER!
Isaiah 40:31
“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.”
When God made the oyster, He guaranteed him absolute economic and social security. He built the oyster a house- a shell – to protect him from his enemies.
When hungry, the oyster simply opens his shell and food rushes in for him. He has no worries. He doesn’t even fight anybody. He’s not going anywhere.
But, when God made the EAGLE, He gave him the sky as his domain. The EAGLE then nested on the highest crag, where the storms threaten every day. For food, he flies through miles of rain, snow, sleet and wind. He screams his defiance at the elements, building his own life. When aroused, he is a vicious foe to his enemies.
