DAILY DEVOTION
Feed on Live Foods
But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31, NKJV
Eagles are majestic birds known for soaring, for how they can rise above the storms, for their strength, for their remarkable vision. It’s been said, “The strength of the eagle is found in its diet.” An eagle feeds mainly on live foods, fresh fish and other live animals. They don’t feed on carrion nearly as much as other scavenger birds. It’s not a coincidence that several times in the Scripture, God chose the eagle as a representative of a believer’s life. An eagle couldn’t soar and reach great heights if it was feeding on the wrong things. In the same way, our strength is found in what we feed upon. We’re not going to soar if we’re feeding on discouragement, worry, regrets, bitterness, doubt, and fear. That’s dead food. That’s going to limit how high you rise, cloud your vision, and stunt your growth. You need to feed on live foods—on faith, hope, favor, victory, the promises in the Scripture, what God says about you. That’s what’s going to cause you to soar and go places that you’ve never dreamed.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You for Your promise that as I wait upon You, You will renew my strength and enable me to rise up with wings like an eagle. Thank You that You have given me live foods to eat, what You’ve said about me in Your Word. I believe that as I feed faith that You will cause me to soar. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
