What Does It Mean To "Soar On Eagles Wings"

“But those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not become weary, they will walk and not faint.” - Isaiah 40:31

One of our favorite things to do when launching a new product with a new verse design is to unpack the meaning behind it. We want you to understand and dive deep into this verse. To truly grasp the context and concept behind it.

This verse is a popular one. Used in songs, writings, and referenced often at funerals. At least that’s where I first heard this passage when I was younger! But it has always stayed with me as a verse with deep meaning. One people grasp onto in times of trouble; it’s that and so much more.

This is what we wrote in our item description:

We all become tired or weary at times. Life is a blessing and can be glorious, but life can also be dark and dreary. And it’s those times that God reassures us with this verse. Trust in the Lord for His provision for His power and strength never diminish. In fact he promises us that we will “soar on.” We will be gently lifted above our weary troubles when we rest in Him. His strength will lift us above all else. He will renew our soul. He will carry us to move forward, to run the race of life. Because he is our true source.

Our prayer as you wear this tee is to be reminded to rely on His power and strength that never ends and to soar on. Soar on Him to get past today’s troubles and into tomorrow’s hope.

When researching this verse I read this commentators take on this verse and I thought it was great and wanted to share it:

“Notice the order, because it seems strange. First we mount up with wings like eagles. Then we run. Finally we walk. Does it seem out of order? Not at all. First, we recognize that we soar up into heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6). Then we set ourselves on the course to run the race (Hebrews 12:1). Then we are in the good place to walk the walk (Colossians 2:6).”

I loved how he connected the old and new testament together. The Bible is one gigantic theme with little mini themes interwoven into it. And here we see three connected together in the provision and grace of God. He also points out as we often see that God’s ways are different - maybe even “strange". And that’s faith. That’s God’s ways vs the world’s ways. A trust in the Lord and when the trust and faith takes root, a strength will soar. We might still feel the weight, feel the hurt, but he will lift us up on Eagles wings taking us into a place of peace and renewed strength in Him.

One last thing to share, and I’m thinking it will have to be another mini devotion later on to research so feel free to share all your knowledge with me. Why an Eagle? This isn’t the only time the Bible references an Eagle. I found a quick snippet from a secular website but it rings true when we read it through the eyes of something truly sacred.

“The eagle is the chief over all the winged creatures. The Eagle conveys the powers and messages of the spirit; it is man’s connection to the divine because if flies higher than any other bird… If the eagle has appeared, it bestows freedom and courage to look ahead.”


May the Lord life you up on Eagles Wings and bring you to a place of renewed strength. A place of freedom and courage. I place of peace to rest in His might strength.

Play-On-Words Galore!

Over the past few months we’ve launched our play-on-words products. It’s been so fun to create something different and have fun with it. Our goal was to design products that were used in our every day life that would allow us to be reminded in a whole other way.

Huge side note! We celebrate FOUR years in business tomorrow, Aug 1st. So be sure to check back in with us and celebrate.

Using these scripture products or wearing our apparel doesn’t make us “better” Christians. In fact that goes against the gospel and makes it a performance based faith. No. These products were created to be reminders of our faith in Jesus. A way to break through the noise of this world and focus on Jesus. Life is to be lived in union with Jesus. Living every moment for Him. Too often we just share our mornings and meal times with Christ, but that’s it. Our goal and mission is to set these reminders out to live every moment with Christ.

Just think about all these reminders! Every day you light your new candle you are reminded that Jesus is our light in this dark world and He will be our Way. And that match that you used… pray that you can be a light to shine in other’s lives. Or when you grab your makeup for the day, you can pray that you rest in the promise that you are Altogether Beautiful but Christ lives in you and that is what true beauty looks like. And let’s not forget coffee, when you grab your coffee mug for the day, may you thirst for Him and Him only because only he satisfies. Then when your coffee shakes set in and you need a water refill, be reminded of God’s invitation for us to taste and see all that he is and he is sooo good. So very good. And be sure to grab your sunglasses and be reminded to fix your eyes on Jesus because he is the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.

Are you reminded out? I don’t know that we can be! Or at least I can’t be. I need these all day and every day. They bring me back to my purpose. We all have the same purpose and that’s to live life on mission sharing the good news of Jesus. He commissioned us with that. Our missions just look a little different. For me it’s as a mom and six notes. For you it might be in the church. Or for most of us it’s integrating into the workplace but standing different and standing for him. It’s loving others, serving others, being the good in other’s lives. Life is not about us, it’s about Him. Who are we impacting for Christ?

This world is a me world. We see it everywhere. Find a way to break through this thinking and hold tight to a gospel centered thinking. And at the very heart of the gospel is Jesus. Live for him.

Be reminded and show whose you are.

question on prayer and fasting - Mark 9:28-29

Mark 9:28-29

I read this section of the Bible today and was left puzzled. So I dug deeper with the blue letter bible app.

Passage in short: The disciples couldn’t cast out a demon from a little boy. Jesus rebukes them for their little faith. Jesus casts out the demon. They go into a house and have a private discussion. The disciples ask Jesus why they couldn’t cast out this demon as they’ve cast out demons before, in fact Jesus gave them the authority to do so in Mark 3:14-15. Jesus replies, “this kind can come out by nothing but prayer.” And in some translations they add fasting.

Jesus’s response in verse 29 is what puzzled me. Only by prayer and fasting. One, we don’t read that he prayed on the spot. He just commanded. Two, why prayer and fasting?

This is what I read when digging further,
It isn’t that prayer and fasting make us more worthy to cast out demons. It is that prayer and fasting draws closer to the heart of God, and they put us more in line with his power. They are an expression of our total dependence on him.

They (the commentators) made another point,
That authority (to cast our demons in Mark 3:14) that Jesus had given them was effective only if exercise by faith but faith must be cultivated through spiritual discipline and devotion.

Reading, praying, fasting, serving, devotion... doesn’t make us a good Christian. Doesn’t make us right with God. But it does cultivate a heart for God. You can do those things and just go through the motions, checking it off the list. Or you can go into them eagerly ready to learn more about our Savior, ready to fall in love with Him day after day.

Yes some days it will be less fruitful, but we come back the next ready to experience him all over again. Not to see how he can change us but to experience His story and what he has already done for us.


Yesterday, Today and Forever

I read the book None Like Him by Jen Wilkin a while back and she brought up this verse when she spoke of God as immutable. I couldn’t get this verse out of my head. It was so reassuring to me to know that while I may change so many times throughout my life on this earth, I serve a God who never has and never will.

This Spring Line we have a lot of transformational verses, but there is something so powerful about wearing this verse. We pray you feel it too.

Mini Devotional - Yesterday, Today, and Forever

The unchanging nature of God. If you want to sound super smart and theological, use the word, immutable.  That’s what this verse describes for us.  A God who will not and who simply cannot change. And in a world that is ever changing, we find comfort and hope to anchor our souls to a God who stands firm in who he is and always has been. The same God who rescued his people from slavery in Egypt delivers his people still today from the chains of sin.  The same God who saved 3 men from the furnace walks beside us and delivers us through our fires.  This is the God we serve. An immutable God.  An unchanging God.  A God who is the same now as he always has been and forever will be.  A God who brings us hope in life eternal and loves us unconditionally as he delivers us through this life into our everlasting with Him.  A promise he made back during creation and a promise because he does not change that will stand for always.  His character, his plans and his promises remain firm. 

We pray as you wear this tee that you are reminded of the unchanging nature of God.  His deep love will never fade.  Will never falter. Will never grow dim.  But stay perfect in every way.
