Eagles are often harassed by crows that peck at them. Instead of retaliating, the eagle soars higher, reaching altitudes where crows can't survive. This behavior teaches us about rising above life's challenges rather than confronting them directly.
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.” This verse parallels the eagle's response in the story, emphasizing spiritual elevation through trust in God.
The story and scripture together teach us to focus on our spiritual journey with God. The crow represents life's troubles. By serving, praising, and worshiping God, we, like the eagle, rise above these challenges. Drawing closer to God diminishes the distractions that once seemed overwhelming. Our spiritual ascent ensures we rise beyond worldly troubles and the devil’s influence.
