I wrote this book telling about all the great men and women of God and their struggles and learning experiences so people would realize that we all go through trials and learning experiences. But if we have God in our lives, we have someone to go through them with us.
God uses everything to build character in us and make us great men and women of God too. If we have the Lord in our life, He is the one who fights for us and shows us the way out of our dilemmas. We need to stay close to Him and learn to hear His voice inside of us, and He will show us the way. At the appointed time, it will surely come to pass.
A friend gave me a bookmarker one time that said, “It’s hard to fly like an eagle when you are living with turkeys.” I told her, “You have to learn to soar above them and allow God to solve the problems or show you what you are supposed to do. Don’t get involved in a turkey fight when you are an eagle. Fly and soar on high with Him.” When a mother eagle teaches her young to fly, she takes them out on her wings and drops them off and tells them to fly. But she soars right with them so she can fly under them and catch them on her wings if they don’t make it the first time. She will know when they are ready to fly by themselves.
That is the same way it is with God. He is there to catch us if we fall. I wrote this poem in my Bible years ago, and I don’t even know where I read it. I added to it over the years as I learned how true it was. God says, “Come to the edge.” But it is dangerous there! God says, “Come to the edge.” But I might fall! God says, “Come to the edge.” So I went to the edge, and He pushed me. I started to fall, and I cried for help, and God said, “Spread your wings!” I did, and I began to fly.
We have to see the invisible, believe the impossible, and we will achieve the incredible. Just listen to God and wait on His timing! God’s plans for us are greater than anything we could ever think or imagine. Isaiah 40:31 says, “Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint.”
God called Abraham the father of faith. God told him that his descendants would be as the sand on the seashore. There were many descendants of Abraham over generations, but there are also spiritual descendants of Abraham. We are part of his family of faith when we accept Jesus Christ as our savior. God is our shield and exceeding great reward. The covenant has been handed down to us! All we have to do is believe it and receive it! We are blessed by God Almighty and Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son! It is up to us! The choice is ours. We are part of the family of God, and there is not a thing the devil can do to change that, unless you let him. God is able to see you through anything you will ever face if you will just invite Him in.
