An eagle
doesn't take the air
by trying
not to fall,
but
graciously pursues the task,
high above
it all.
By using
what's provided
he fullfills
the law of lift,
pursues his
food or builds a nest
on wings
both strong and swift.
So how can
we expect to see
a victory
over sin,
if we go
through life with eyes upon
the mortal
ills within,
instead of
fixing firmly
our eyes
upon His face,
pursuing God
through faith and trust,
our wings
His gifts of grace.
