Thought for the day
Friday 8/22/25

Thanks be unto the Lord our God who has given us life on this fantastic fabulous Friday morning.
I received a message earlier this morning that I thought it was worth sharing. THE ONLY BIRD THAT DARES TO ATTACK AN EAGLE IS A CROW, BUT THE EAGLE NEVER FIGHTS BACK. HERE IS WHY:
1. The crow is the only bird bold enough to sit on the eagle’s back and peck at its neck.
Relentless. Annoying.
But the eagle… stays calm.
2. The eagle doesn’t flap. Doesn’t fight. Doesn’t waste energy. It does one thing: It rises.
3. The higher the eagle soars. The thinner the air becomes. The crow? It can’t handle the altitude.
4. Eventually, the crow gasps. Loses strength…And falls off. Not because the eagle attacked, But because the eagle ascended.
5. Let the crows talk. Let them peck. You don’t have to respond. Just keep going higher.
6. They can’t follow you forever. Your growth will suffocate their noise. So don’t engage. Elevate.
What can we learn from the eagle as we too experience the nuisances and the problems that oftentimes interrupt and disturb our lives? Ascend, elevate. “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,” Philippians 2:5 NKJV. Be blessed as you practice the principles.
