From Chickens To Eagles
Devotional
Have you ever watched a chicken try to fly? No matter how hard it flaps its wings, it remains grounded, helpless when storms come. This perfectly describes our lives before Christ. We were stuck, confused, and powerless against life's challenges. But salvation changes everything. When we accept Christ, we transform from chickens to eagles—gaining the ability to soar above life's storms rather than being trapped beneath them. This isn't just a one-time event; it's an ongoing transformation that requires our daily participation. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in you, giving you everything needed for a godly life. You're no longer grounded by circumstances or limited by your past failures. Today, you have the divine nature within you, capable of rising above whatever storm you're facing. The question isn't whether you have the power—you do. The question is whether you'll spread your wings and use it.
Bible Verse
'But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.' - Isaiah 40:31
Reflection Question
What 'storm' in your life do you need to rise above instead of remaining grounded in worry or fear?
Quote
Before we knew Christ, we were just like chickens. No matter what storm came, there's nothing we could do about it. We didn't have the ability to fly above the storm because no matter how much we did the chicken walk, we didn't go up anywhere. We were stuck, we were grounded, we were lost, we were confused. Nothing we could do. But then when we got saved, we suddenly became from chickens to eagles.
Prayer
Lord, help me remember that I'm no longer a chicken but an eagle in You. Give me the courage to spread my wings and soar above today's challenges.
