The Eagle; a Parable of God
Deuteronomy 32:11-12
As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes them, bears them on her wings:…


I. THE DIVINE AIM. Spiritual education.

1. Its character. Educing the latent energies and powers of the soul.

2. Its importance. Character. Higher attainment. Nobler enjoyment.

3. Its difficulty. We love the nest of ease, and are satisfied with slender attainments, or none.

II. THE DIVINE METHOD.

1. Disturbance. The ministry of affliction.

2. Example.

3. Aid.

(J. P. Allen, M. A.)
