The Way of the Eagle
Proverbs 30:18-19 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: 19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
No bird quite so majestic or fascinating as an eagle. If you have ever seen an eagle in flight, then you know what I am talking about.
Agur, the writer of this proverb, calls the way of the eagle in the air “too wonderful”.
When we hear the word “wonderful” today, we think of something that is very pleasing to us. But actually, the Hebrew word, “palah” means, “full of wonder.”
The way of the eagle is full of wonder because it is something deep and hard to fully grasp.

There is just something majestic about the eagle, whether perched on a craggy cliff, or high in the sky.
The way of the eagle in the air is truly awe inspiring and if you have ever seen an eagle in flight, you know this.
You might not have ever noticed it, but God has much to say in His word about eagles. In fact, the Bible mentions eagles over 30 times.
You could say that God wants us to be “eagle christians”. And, to be an “Eagle Christian” means to be overcomer.

Born to Soar
God created the eagle to soar! He is born to soar! As such, he is a picture of the believer who is born again to live a victorious life. Consider this:
