Eagles move from a process of courtship to commitment. The female eagle flies high into the sky, and the male eagle chases her. Suddenly she turns over on her back in midair and sticks her talons up. He moves over her and locks talons with her while they fall toward earth. He is totally committed. He would rather die then let her go. They are saying I love you, and I will never let you go. I am with you weather your rising or falling, through illness or health, through good days or rough ones, through mistakes, through trials, till death do us part. These eagles then mate for life.
Proverbs 30:18-19 The way of the eagle is too wonderful to understand. Are we as Christians willing to lock talons with others? The bible gives us numerous examples of others totally committed, locking talons. The story of Ruth locking talons with Naomi is a good example set for us. David and Jonathon is another great example. God with Noah and the good Samaritan with a stranger are a couple of other great examples of locking on.
But what about the most important pair. what about your commitment, your relationship with Christ?
We need to be asking ourselves:
Are my talons locked on with Christ?
Am I committed to Christ and to others, to hold on no matter what the outcome, no matter what the cost?
Would I be willing to lock on to a friend, or even a stranger weather they are rising or falling?
Would I be willing to die for another by not letting go? In Christ, Brown Eagle
