The Verse of the Day 1 September 2022, Thursday
Today’s Verse: Deuteronomy 32:11-12 – As an eagle stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, spreading out its wings, taking them up, carrying them on its wings, so the LORD alone led him.
The Verse of the Day 1 September 2022 Message
What a year we have experienced! Our comfortable, predictable lives have been disrupted and, in many cases, may never look the same.
Perhaps, God is stirring His church like the mother eagle stirs her nest. Mating eagle pairs return to the same nest year after year. They repair it with branches and twigs until some nests will weigh over a ton. Inside, they carefully line the nest with moss, feathers, and fur—a soft, warm home for their babies.
The parents care for the newly-hatched eaglets until, eventually, the mother begins to pull out the fur and feathers so that the babies become uncomfortable, unwilling to remain in their prickly home. They perch on the edge of the nest and pluck up the courage to take their fledgling flight.
As the eaglet attempts its wobbly flight, the mother hovers protectively over it. If it falls, she swoops it up on her wings to return it to the nest. Repeatedly, she rescues her child until his wings are strong enough to take to the skies.
As we venture out to discover our new normal, we can trust in a Father Who hides us under the shadow of His wings and Who faithfully leads us in the lessons that teach us to soar.
The Verse of the Day 1 September 2022 Blessing:
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. May you mount up on eagle’s wings as God renews your strength and takes you from glory to glory!
