I was on a run today, on country road in sunny Southern California, when I paused to watch the beauty, grace and ease of a large hawk soaring over me. Effortless, an occasional flap of a wing, and the bird circles, glides through the air. The hawk is perfectly designed for soaring the wings grab the air naturally without effort. As I watched I thought about my life. I know I haven't been soaring lately, maybe you feel the same? Sometimes life can get us down, we can be discouraged and living well is not effortless, it is a struggle. As I watched the magnificant bird I was reminded that God designed me to soar too. That by following closely His way, I too can live my life with a greater freedom, ease and hope. What a great reminder today.
"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" Isaiah 40:31
