Hawks Flying

A few years ago, I began to get spiritual insights from hawks.  It seemed God wanted me to start paying attention to how many hawks I would see, and from that He would give me hope and encouragement, from the things that would say to me.

You probably wonder what sort of things?  Well, to begin with, how many would I see along the way?  If I saw one, that would remind me God was watching out for me.  If I saw another one, then that would represent Christ, and if I saw a third, it would remind me of the Holy Spirit.  If I saw five, that would mean to expect God's grace to be apparent in my life.   Seven would represent God's wholeness, ten completion of something, and so on.   Now, were they sitting on a fence post?  On a tree?  On a telephone wire?  On a power line?  Each of these also represented something, too.  Like sitting on a post.  Rest in the Lord.  Sitting in a tree?  We are called trees of righteousness, so it would remind me of my spiritual walk.  Telephone line?  That would be to communicate.  Power?  God is my source of strength.

This brings me to why I brought this subject up today.  Today, Isolino wanted to go to the new Lowe's in Sonora.  That is about a half hour drive.  Going there, a hawk swooped right over our car.  Coming home, another hawk going over us.  This reminded me of what flying hawks mean to me.  It is a reminder to me, that I need to fly on the wings of God's Spirit.  I need to rely on His Supernatural Strength.  I need to remember that the battle is His.  It is His way of telling me that I need to be flying in His Realm, and not this worldly one.

You see, hawks look for that strong airflow, so that they can glide through the air.  They don't have to use their wings as much.  They just soar over things with little effort, and they have a much better view of what they want to see.  So, for us, it means looking for where the Holy Spirit is moving, getting into the flow of that wind, letting go and letting God take over, and then we will save our strength, see more clearly, and have a much easier time of it.

I pray you will all soar this weekend and this coming week.  I pray that this helps you to look and rely more on God.  God bless you all.
