Quit Flapping, Start Soaring

You aren’t designed to flap
Your wings
Frantically,
Futilely,
Until you run out of fuel.

You are made to soar.

They who wait upon the Lord shall
Renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings
Like eagles. (Is. 40:31)

In wearisome times,
I bless your spirit to soar—
To find the updrafts of God’s grace
In Christ,
To feel the currents
Of His Spirit
And fly.

The long days of waiting
Are giving your wings a chance to grow.
Your spirit can sense the wind of the Holy Spirit,
And soar.

And that’s the Gospel!
