When we think of wings, we usually visualize the body part of some kind of bird, an angel or something we order as an appetizer. We don’t usually imagine great strength in those wings until we see a bird in flight or chickens and turkeys trying to establish a pecking order. Most of the time we consider wings to be easily broken or weak. In thinking about the wings of God, we can compare them to the strength of an eagle as she spreads her gigantic wings and soars through the heavens searching for provision below. We can also picture that strong bird spreading her wings over unhatched eggs to protect them. When they hatch, she will spread those huge wings and cuddle the newborn chicks. God’s creation brings to mind all kinds of lessons for us. His majesty is far greater than anything He created. His power has no end. He is in complete control of all things, even when we think He doesn’t hear us.

Our communication with Him is like an open door, where we can enter at a moment’s notice. We can go straight to the source now, because of what Jesus accomplished here on earth. When our hearts are trouble, when we need a friend, when our own plans fall short, when we can’t complete our goals for the day – He is available. All that’s necessary is a faithful heart. There are no barriers anymore. Christ took them to the grave when He died for our sins. He knows what His plan for us is and how He will turn our troubles into good if we let Him.

Isaiah 40:31 “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.”
