HE WILL BEAR YOU UP ON EAGLES' WINGS


I wanted to share this encouraging song to anyone today who has found their strength gone, or almost gone, who is in a hard place, or a battle they seem to not be able to fight anymore.  I've had some of those and recently again found myself literally plowed down by the enemy, who attacked like a flood, and I could not stand.  There are times in ourselves we cannot stand.  But we can cry out to God, we can wait on Him, and we can trust His power to raise us up on those eagles' wings.

We don't have wings.  We can't fly.  We sometimes grow weary and lose strength.  We lose heart.  We even lose faith, and falter, because the lies and delusions and twisting of truth of the enemy in our minds and hearts is overwhelming.  There comes a time when we say, "Lord, no use in my striving or fighting.  The enemy is too much for me.  But he is not too much for You!  I rest in Your care for me, in Your love for me, and in Your power.  I will wait on You, until You lift me up again, on Your most powerful wings and bring me to safety once again.

Isaiah 40:29-31
(29)  He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.
(30)  Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted;
(31)  but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
Who abide in His shadow for life
Say to the Lord
"My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!"

And He will raise you up on eagles' wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand.

The snare of the fowler will never capture you
And famine will bring you no fear
Under His wings your refuge
His faithfulness your shield.

And He will raise you up on eagles' wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand.

You need not fear the terror of the night
Nor the arrow that flies by day
Though thousands fall about you
Near you it shall not come.

And He will raise you up on eagles' wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand.

For to His angels He's given a command
To guard you in all of your ways
Upon their hands they will bear you up
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

And He will raise you up on eagles' wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand...
