The eagle is the king of the skies, the bird that soars higher, sees further, and endures longer than almost any other creature.  There is something inspiring about watching an eagle.  While most birds flap frantically just to stay in the air, the eagle stretches out its wings and lets the wind lift it higher.  While smaller birds scatter at the first sign of a storm, the eagle locks its wings and rises above the clouds into the sunlight.
 
Isaiah says that when you wait upon the Lord, you too will mount up with wings as eagles.
