Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
I read a description of how an eagle handles her nest. When the time comes for the young ones to fly, the mother eagle doesn't just tell them they are ready. She actually stirs up the nest, making it uncomfortable and unstable, and eventually pushes them out into mid-air. To the young bird, it must feel like a disaster. It feels like the safety of the nest is gone and the world is falling away. But the mother knows that the discomfort of the nest is the only thing that will compel the bird to use its wings. Does your life feel unstable right now, as if the nest you relied on has been shaken? It is hard to see it in the moment, but the Lord often allows our comforts to be disturbed so that we will discover a strength we never knew we had.
APPLICATION:
You may be asking why God is allowing your "nest" to be shaken right now. It is important to remember that discomfort is often the doorway to development. When we are too comfortable, we stop leaning on the Lord, so He allows a season of instability to draw us back into a deeper dependence on Him.
We have to be careful not to mistake a trial for a punishment. While the situation feels like a disaster in the moment, the Lord is actually preparing you for a new level of faith. He is not trying to break you, but He is breaking the things in your life that keep you from flying in the spirit.
You can find peace tonight by trusting that God is the master weaver. He takes the dark threads of your pain and the bright threads of your joy and weaves them together into a beautiful tapestry. Even when the pattern makes no sense to you, you can trust that the One holding the needle knows exactly what He is doing. I want to encourage you that God is not punishing you, but He is preparing you. He is working all things together for your ultimate good and His glory.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we thank You that nothing in our lives is wasted. For the one who is in the midst of a shaking season, give them the grace to trust Your purpose. Help them to spread their wings of faith and trust in Your providence. In Jesus' name, Amen.
