Kept by His Power
As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him . Deuteronomy 32:11-12
When an eagle’s offspring are three months old, they are toppled out of the nest to get their first lesson in eagle flying. Feeling their danger and helpless condition they scream violently for help! Then the mother sweeps under them and catches them on her huge and strong wings and all is well again. So too our God.
--E. MacLelland
Kept by His power, whatever dangers lower,
The strength of God’s almighty arm,
Doth shield my soul from every harm,
Kept by His power.
--William Blane
