Exodus 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.

Have you ever needed a “pick me up” or an “energy boost” to get you through the day? Sometimes I need these in my life to lift me up. Daily trials and responsibilities cause me to get tired and weary some days, feeling as if all my energy has been drained from me.

As they arrived at the same mountain where the Lord spoke to Moses out of the burning bush, God had something very special to say to the people of Israel. The first thing He did was remind them of the victory He had provided over the Egyptians. Sometimes we need to be reminded of how faithful God has been in our lives already. God is greater than anything or anyone!

Next, God spoke to them about how He cares for them. By stating that He had borne them on eagles’ wings, He was painting a powerful picture in their minds. It has been documented by different ornithologists over the last century that, from time to time, the eagle will let its young ride its back. This gives the young eaglets time to rest and regain energy. This also keeps them safe from harm that can come from below. Anything that tries to attack must first pass through the mother eagle.

God has won our victory. He has defeated the enemy of our soul. While we must carry on until He returns for us, He did not leave us alone and without protection. He will bear us up on eagles’ wings and bring us unto Himself. If today is one in which you need a “pick me up” or an “energy boost”, just know that we have a God who is able and willing to soar you into the heavens today and let you rest in Him.
