—Deuteronomy 32:10-14
by: Cheryl Steele.
An eagle does not want her young to stay in the nest forever. If they do, they will eventually wither away and die. The nest is a safe place, but there is no way for the young eagles to grow and develop in there. Instead, she nurtures them and provides for them until they are strong enough to fly on their own. I believe this is what is being said in this passage. God is making us the offer to help us grow up and step out in faith just as He has done for His children since the beginning of time. He is offering us a marvelous future, if we are willing to take that leap of faith.
