Eagle

The Squamish Valley in BC, boasts one of the largest populations of wintering  Bald Eagles in the world. The reason for such numbers is found in the significant number of spawning salmon (Chum) that come into three local rivers ; the Squamish, the Cheakamus and the Mamquam, lay their eggs and die. Thus providing the Eagles a banquet fit for this king of birds. You will see  in the attached photographs, that in addition to the plentiful food, the trees  in this majestic valley provide  ideal roosting . Our Maker has created them with many outstanding traits such as their ability to fly at high altitudes , to see their prey at great distances(well over a mile) and to fly at speeds up to 100mph.

Reference to the Eagle is found 39 times in scripture.To me, one of the special locations is in Isaiah 40: 29-31,

“But they that wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wing like eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”

Waiting with patience,  is not one of my notable traits in  this instant everything, digital world. However when we do wait on the Lord for His direction we can soar to new heights with the strength of eagles.
