The Light

 105 Your word is a lamp for my feet,
   a light on my path.
The study of God's Word brings light, which is something we all need.  We do not always know or see what we need to do, and many times we do not recognize our own problems.  We need God's light to understand ourselves and to see how we need to change and how we can cooperate with God to make things better. 

130 The unfolding of your words gives light;
   it gives understanding to the simple.

Reading God's Word is like looking in a mirrow.  It enables us to see what needs to be cleaned up in our lives.

Fly Like An Eagle

Reading from the Book of Isaiah 40:28-31...


 
28Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
 
 Quietly waiting on God encourages us, does more to restore our bodies, minds and emotions than anything else we can do. We need to do this regularly. I urge you to insist on quiet time with God. Do not let anyone take those consecrated moments from you. 
 
 29He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
 
 God will empower you to face everything you need to do with renewed physical, emotional, mental and spiritual strength.

 30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
 31But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

If there is something we are suppossed to be doing, the Lord will give us the ability to do it. He will not lead us into a situation and then leave us there to face it alone in our own weak, human power. He is with us. He is our great God. he will harden us to difficulties, help us, uphold us and give us wings to fly like eagles.

Kettle Of Eagles Introduction

Reading from the Book of Exodus 19:3-4, 7-8...

3 Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain and said, “This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel: 4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.

When God calls a leader, He not only annoints that person to do a certain work, but He also places and annoints people around the leader to do part of that work.  That is the great truth Moses discovered when he learned to delegate some of his work to others.

God places certain people in each of our lives to help us.  If we do not recieve their help, we can become frustrated and over-worked.  God has created us to be interdependent on one another, not independent of each other.  We need each other.

 7 So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all the words the LORD had commanded him to speak. 8 The people all responded together, “We will do everything the LORD has said.” So Moses brought their answer back to the LORD.

As the Lord has led me to begin this new blog, "Kettle Of Eagles", I ask that my family and friends to please join me in discusssion, comments, ideas, questions, prayer. This gift the Lord has granted me, thus far, has led me to learn many aspects of His Word, and teach what I am learning.  We shall become a Kettle Of Eagles, taking flight into Wisdom, Knowledge and Truth.
