Lift your eyes and look

"O, why, atheist,
Do you insist
That there is no God?

Why do you burden yourself 
By making hard equations?
To prove that there is no Creator,
And debate in some occasions?

Take a picnic to a meadow, 
A walk next to a creek.
Spend a day in the mountains,
Sleep under the stars, can you speak?
And tell me there isn't a God.

See a cow graze in the meadow, 
Find some fish in the creek.
Ride a goat in the mountains, 
Hear an owl hooting, oh seek.
Can't you see Him in all this?

Why don't you believe?
Why do you harden your hearts
Close your eyes
Deafen your ears
Why don't you turn and believe? 

Lift your eyes and look to the heavens.
Who created all these?"  

a poem inspired by: a comment from someone in Facebook, desire for atheists to believe and be saved, and Isaiah 40:26






Eagle's Wings

This blog's title, "On Wings Like Eagles", is from my current favorite verse from the Bible, Isaiah 40:31, "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." 
I really love birds. And the Falconiformes order of falcons, hawks, and eagles is one of my favorites. I even want to be an ornithologist, a bird scientist, someday. I became more fascinated with birds when I came to Nepal, which has over 848 species. That's why I named my blog after birds, God's creation. You can learn a whole lot of lessons from birds! Not just lessons of science, but life lessons.
 

Just take a break, and observe the birds :).
