FACTS ABOUT EAGLES:
The bald EAGLE is swift and powerful,
with keen vision. It can see three or
four times farther than a human can. As
an eagle sits upon its perch and
observes its surrounding, it warns its
fellow eagles of danger.
God wants us to have eyes like an eagle,
to see those around us, to see their
needs, to warn them of danger. Ezekiel
22:30 "And I sought for a man among
them, that should make up the hedge, and
stand in the gap before me for the land,
that I should not destroy it:.."
We are living in the last days, and it
is our duty to warn our fellow human
beings that judgment is soon coming. How
we do this is up to us. Some people are
more adept at speaking to people, while
others find it in their nature to warn
people by the written word. But just as
the eagle remained alert to dangers, and
told his fellows about it, so should we.
FACTS ABOUT DOVES:
In contrast to the
eagle, a dove is a
gentle creature. It
is timid and
trembling, not
aggressive. In the
Bible it is a symbol
of peace. God wants
us to be peaceful,
not trouble makers.
He wants us to
portray love to our
fellow man. While we
are to warn them of
judgment to come, we
are also to show
them God's love.
May God grant us the
eyes of an eagle,
and the heart of a
dove.
I think that Isaiah
26:3 and 4
summarizes the
contrast--yet the
blend--of the eagle
and the dove. "Thou
wilt keep him in
perfect peace, whose
mind is stayed on
thee: because he
trusteth in thee.
(The dove) ”Trust
ye in the Lord
forever, for the
Lord Jehovah is
everlasting
strength." (The
eagle)
THE PEACE OF THE
DOVE,
THE STRENGTH OF THE
EAGLE.

Searching
A
soft
white
dove
loops
around
me from
above
with a
curious
eye
appearing
to search
the inner
depths
of my
soul
only to
become
cleverly
aware
that
You,
dear Lord
are the
One
to have
filled it
with
eternal
bounties
of Your
perfect
Holy
love.
Psalm 139:1
O LORD, thou hast
searched me,
and known me.
