Do you want bolder faith? To take a risk and tell a friend about Jesus? Would you like to teach a class or age you’ve never tried before? Want to attempt a new vocation? Try a new business? Start a new ministry? Love a difficult relative? Speak up for justice? Go on a mission trip? Overcome a debilitating habit? Grow deeper spiritually? One of the most beautiful truths about being God’s child is the realization that we can find wings even in the midst of difficult circumstances. Whatever spiritual freedom means to you, God wants you to spread your wings and “fly” Isaiah 40:31 (NLT) gives us a great promise: But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Like a mother eagle, God may have to push us toward the edge of our comfy nests to get us ready to fly. And like baby eaglets we may resist, fearing the flight. But just like the eagle, our faithful Father watches and waits nearby to catch us until we can fly on our own (Deuteronomy 32:11). Our job? Wait on Him; listen for His voice; and watch for His “nudge.” The freedom is in the trusting.
