We are to be eagles

Who are majestic

And free

Soaring high

In the sky

Spreading its wings

Looks forward

Never back

Spots its prey from miles away

Only goes to the ground when needed

Yet we choose to be chickens

Who peck and gossip

Who only look down

And focus on what’s in front of them

Who have terrible vision

And can’t fly

Who run and hide from a storm

Where as eagles fly upward in the eye of the storm

Having no fear

Because when we are eagles we know God is near

That they can look towards the sun and still see

As we need to look towards the son to truly see

Eagles fly with their pack

As brothers and sisters of Christ need to be surrounded by each other

The people you surround yourself with

Will influence the type of person you will become

So surround yourself with God fearing friends

So that you may build each other up

And lift each other when we fall

So I tell you to be careful to not leave the nest

For our nest is the church

Where we recharge by reading the word of God and worship

But we are called to leave the nest and bring others to Christ

That we are to teach others

To fly

So that they may fly forward towards God

Do not be a chicken who run in circles in a chicken coop

Who give up and loose hope

Who put each other down

Who put their focus on people

And worship objects and fame

But rather look into the eye of an eagle

That looks beyond what is in front of them

That lifts others up

So they may see the light of the glory of God

Who seek God

Rather than man

Who Worship and Praise His name

They soar upwards

And fight their battles in the sky

But do not fight your battles on the ground

Because you were meant for the sky

Because God called you to be like eagles
