Spread Your Wings
By Pastor Tim Hodge
Several years back, on a visit to the Charleston Aquarium there was a cage in the lobby area. This cage was formed out of 2×4 boards and chicken wire. The dimensions were about four feet wide and five feet high. Inside the cage was a crudely made perch and sitting on the perch was a full-grown eagle.
I kept gravitating to that cage during our visit. I’d stand there looking that eagle in the eye. All the while I’d have this thought whirling around in my mind: “You were made for so much more than this.”
I don’t know why the eagle was placed in the cage. Maybe he was found wounded and nursed back to health. Yet, here was a bird that could soar higher and faster than we could imagine. It was now caged in chicken wire; a massive bird of prey held in a modified chicken coop. He was bottled into a place where he could not spread his wings.
Life cages us in at times. Pressures, stress, strife, and oppressive fronts press inward on us. Before we know it, we are trapped. We were made to soar in the heights of unimaginable faith. The enemy fears no child of God when it is caged. On the converse, hell quakes at the child of God who spreads their wings of faith.
Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) states, “But 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 is MAKING ROOM FOR US! He is making room for us to spread our wings.
