If you have been in my office, you will notice that there are a lot of eagles. This collection started a number of years ago, when Emma gave me a painting of a soaring eagle. The eagle is just soaring over the rocks and mountain. The eagle is not flapping its wings, but just soaring.
How many feel that they are not soaring, but just flapping their wings and not getting any where? How many of us need to have our spirits lifted up again? Have we been beaten down by circumstances, and situations that are in our lives?
Here are some principles from God's Word to lift your Spirits today:
1. Have a right relationship with the Lord. 1 John 1:9 says - "Confess your sins to the Lord." If you have done this, then maintain that intimate walk with the Lord.
2. Let go of the things that keep you grounded. How many of us hold on to things that keep us from soaring. We need to loosen up, and begin to enjoy life. Life is too short to worry, and fret. Remember God is in charge!
3. Praise - We need to praise the Lord continually. Read the Book of Psalms and it talks about lifting our praise to the Lord.
4. View our circumstances from God's perspective, not ours. We all will face difficult problems in life, but remember Romans 8:28 - "And we know that in all things God works together for the good, to those who love him and have been called according to His purpose.
5. Begin to count your blessings today, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done."
I pray that you will begin to soar like the eagle!
Connecting with you,
Pastor Ron
