 | When the female knows the male is interested...
she leads him on a chase through the skies...
swooping...diving...and soaring high above the hills.
When the chase is nearly over...
she flies as high as she can and flips onto her back...
free-falling to the ground.
It is the male's job to place his body over hers and grasp her talons...
flapping his wings with all his might to keep her from certain death.
Moments before they hit the ground...
the female pulls out of the dive and circles the male...
Because he had been willing to stay even unto death...
he will have proven himself as a mate.
The eagles are joined for life from that point on...
yet we "intellectual" humans often miss the mark.
The bald eagle is one of God's most beautiful anima l s...
They soar high into the sky with such ease and grace...
and are used as a symbol for wisdom.
God said in Isaiah 40:31
"But those who hope in the Lord...
will renew their strength...
they will run and not grow weary...
they will walk and not be faint...
That's pretty amazing...
God promises us that we will soar on wings like eagle's....
We'll not only rise above..we will soar!
