On Eagle's Wings
- Dr. A.T. Pierson
We read in the book of
Deuteronomy about the eagle stirring up
her nest (Deu 32:11), spreading her wings,
taking her young and bearing them on her
wings. She very carefully trains her young
fledglings to fly. As they nestle down upon
the soft lining of the nest, she plants a thorn
in the side of the nest to make them move
about. If this will not do, she crowds them
out of the nest and off the edge of the cliff
and lets them fall; but the mother bird
watches and spreads out her great maternal
wings beneath them, and receives the little
trembling birds and bears them back to the
eyrie rocks. This is the way God does with
His children. If He lets them fall, He still
watches that they do not fall beyond all
recovery.
