"The important assets of an eagle are its wings, sharp claws and sharp beak. When it gets old, its beak loses its sharpness along with its claws. The wings become heavy and it will therefore find it difficult to fly. The eagle has only two options now. One is to die because it cannot hunt its food and eat any longer. The other option is to rejuvenate its parts. How can this be achieved? It flies to the top of a rock. Then it dashes against the rock and breaks its beak. It breaks its claws as well. It tears off its wings. Then it waits patiently for a few months until it gets new wings, claws and beak. Now it is fit for hunting and therefore it can live for several more years"
Wow!! When I read this I had to stop and think about how much pain an eagle have to endure in order to survive.
Psalms 103.5: "Who satsfies your ears with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle"
In order to survive and not die, the eagle has to make the desicion of flying to the highest grounds and pretty much smash his body to a rock until the beak, claws and feathers are gone. His beak, claws and feathers are his everything!!! His weapons, his looks, his armour, his pride, his survival tools.... everything gone in order to survive. Then it just seat there... on the Rock!!! And wait!
The more I think about it the more I realize the message God was telling me... In order for me to survive and rejuvenate my spirit again, I will have to look for a higher ground (Heaven), just throw my self to the Rock (Jesus) and smash everything that is old in my soul, everything that is being stuck in my heart for so long, just smash it and leave it there... leave it in the Rock!! ...and then wait until I rejuvenate (fill my soul and spirit with God) so then I can actually be strong again in the Lord.
God is good always...
