One of the most stunning truths about the eagle is how it handles storms.  Most birds flee for cover at the first sign of thunder, but not the eagle.  It flies straight into the storm, locking its wings in place. The same winds that drive other birds down actually lift the eagle higher.  Scientists have recorded eagles rising thousands of feet on storm currents, soaring above the clouds into calm skies where the sun still shines.
 
Isaiah was referring to the people of God when he said, “They shall mount up with wings as eagles.” The believer is not promised a storm-free life, we are promised a storm-proof strength.

SHELTERING TREE
Sheltering Tree needs help with follow-up and connecting with families after we minister to their physical needs. Already this year, we have helped 136 families in our area and have had 9 salvations. Most of these are unchurched people who are looking for love and acceptance in a church. If you are interested in joining a Connection Team please contact Donna Miles @ 662-415-9059 or Teresa Fett @ 662-643-3529. They will plug you into a team that will fit with your daytime or evening schedule.
