But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. 

Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV)

An eagle has the ability to soar to altitudes of 10,000 feet or more, and can soar for hours using the natural wind currents and thermal updrafts. God has compared the person who waits on the Lord to the likeness of an eagle. As you devote your life to Him in word and deed, you will find the strength to soar like an eagle to new heights that you could never have reached without the power of God.
