Wouldn’t it be great to have the ability to see 2 miles down the road? Believe it or not this is what an eagle experiences. Eagles are equipped with extremely sharp vision. Humans aim to have 20/20 vision, but according to research an eagle has 20/5 vision, which is so much better than humans.

It is believed that the eagles eyes are larger than their brain. The back side of their eyes are flat and this enables them to see very well. This may sound bizarre all in itself, but they can visualize their prey from a long distance away, swoop down so quickly that salmon and animals don’t know what has happened.

Eagles are in a species all by themselves. They are a unique bird and are one of  the largest birds there is. They have large feathers and wide wings. It is believed that the bald eagle wing spans as wide as 6-8 feet. This enables them to fly high with the wind and just glide.

We are encouraged to soar high like eagles. Soar to achieve accomplishments and go for whatever makes us happy, successful and feel free.

Isaiah 40:31, states “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.”

There are a lot of songs that depict eagles. There is a familiar song that is one of my favorites. It’s, ‘Fly Like an Eagle’ by the Steve Miller Band. It has nice music, a rhythmic beat and has an unforgettable tune. The song says:

Time keeps on slipping, slipping into the future

Time keeps on slipping, slipping into the future

I want to fly like an eagle

To the sea

Fly like an eagle

Let my spirit carry me

I want to fly like an eagle

'Til I'm free

Oh, Lord through the revolution

When I hear songs like this, I always envision an eagle flying in the sky and me soaring high too. I have experienced dreams where I have been flying in the air. I start out at one level and then I go higher and higher over land and near buildings. This was me expressing the freedom to soar over my problems, cares and woes. When we soar we are lifted up high above everything. We can see miles far away. I encourage you to soar like an eagle high above any untoward circumstance you may be experiencing today. Soar like eagles. Soar high and just glide with the wind.
