Isaiah 40:27-31

 

²⁷ Why do you say, O Jacob,
    and complain, O Israel,
“My way is hidden from the Lord;
    my cause is disregarded by my God”?
²⁸ Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
    and his understanding no one can fathom.
 

²⁹ He gives strength to the weary
    and increases the power of the weak.
³⁰ Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men stumble and fall;
³¹ 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. 

We saw this young eagle fly up into a tree on the edge of Woods Canyon Lake on the Mogollon Rim in Arizona.

We waited around a long time for him to take off again.  When we gave up and headed back toward the car, he took off.  Of course, we missed it with our cameras.

But the glimpses we got of him flying over the lake were stunning.  The contrast of his beautiful white tail against the blue/green lake water was so beautiful.
