Ephesians 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;… As I was riding along in the South of France one day I saw a fine pair of birds overhead. The driver called out in the French tongue, "Eagles." Yes, and there was a man below with a gun, wishful to get a nearer acquaintance with the eagles, but they did not come down to oblige him. He pointed his rifle at them, but his shots did not reach half way, for the royal birds kept above. The higher air is the fit dominion for eagles, up above the smoke and clouds. Keep there, eagles. Keep there! If men can get you within range they mean no good to you. Keep up, Christian. Keep up in the higher element, resting in Jesus Christ, and do not come down to find a perch for yourself among the trees of philosophy. (C. H. Spurgeon.)
