Topic: The School of Eagles
Text: Proverbs 30:18,19
We live in evil times. The storm is blowing. The question is: How do the children of God overcome the storm?
“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle in the air . . .” (Proverbs 30:18,19).
God trains his children in the way of the eagle. The eagle is the most powerful bird on the surface of the earth. It is for this reason, God chose it for the pattern of the training of his children.
