Rise above the storms!

Did you know that the Eagle is the only bird that flies directly into a storm? While other birds run from the weather, the Eagle actively engages these stronger winds and, instead of seeking shelter, uses the turbulence to push itself higher.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Jesus left His disciples with these encouraging words. In the midst of troubles, we can have peace! Because of what He has done for us . . . and the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of us . . . like the eagle we can attack our circumstances head on and fly above them! There is no need to stay around and be torn apart by the strong winds and heavy rains. Through Christ, we can go into attack mode rather than shrinking back. 

We can in fact, overcome the world's drama and rise above the storms!
