RAINBOW COLOURED EAGLE

When I felt led to paint this image of the eagle during worship at church I felt that the prophetic meaning highlights that as the eagle is looking up, we need to abide in Him and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.

The eagle represents strength and wisdom.

Isaiah 40:31 says: “but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint”. (NIV)

The eagle soars above the storms and has amazing vision. When prey birds come to attack the eagle, all the eagle does it to soar higher and higher and the altitude causes these birds to fall down because of a lack of oxygen. The higher the flight of the eagle, the more the ravens struggle to breathe because they cannot function in that atmosphere.

I feel that the rainbow-coloured eagle represents that we should keep our eyes fixed on God’s promises amidst the storms and challenges that we face.

The eagle rises above its challenges and thrives in a storm. It knows when a storm is approaching and waits for the wind to come and lift it up above the storm.

They use the pressure of the storm to glide higher without using their own efforts, their wings lock in a fixed position to soar without it costing them energy.

We do not need to respond to all battles. Like the eagle, we can respond to soar above the challenges of life.

As we keep our perspective on God and His Word we are more than conquerors and we overcome, because our strength is not in our own efforts but in Him.

The rainbow colours also represent His joy. We should count it all joy when we face various trials and tribulations (James 1:2-5; NIV). It is a set-up for His glory.

As we worship Him we experience the fullness of joy, because our joy is not established in our circumstances or emotions, but in knowing who we are, because of whose we are.

Abide in His love and may your strength be renewed like the eagles’
