The only way an eagle can fly is if it is untethered from the world. If we are to soar on wings like eagles, we first have to completely untether ourselves from this world.

     Since God hides Himself in this world (Isaiah 45:15), we must humbly seek His face to enter into the place of His holy concealment in all things. God is Elyon – High above - but He dwells "with the lowly and the broken of heart" (Isaiah 57:15). Therefore the LORD our God is called Shaddai – our Sustainer, Provider, Refuge, and Home. Just as we can be surrounded by the "shadow of death", so we can be surrounded by the "shadow of Shaddai". To enter that refuge, we need to untether ourselves from the world, which is to be forever buoyed by the unseen hands of the thermals of the Holy Spirit, that we may abide where eagles soar, and freely enter the place of His secret dwelling in the secret place of the Most High right at the top of the highest of all mountains. “And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.” (Isaiah 2:2).

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

(Isaiah 40:31).
