The term "soars" is not directly mentioned in the Bible; however, the concept of soaring, particularly in the context of eagles, is a powerful metaphor used in Scripture to convey strength, renewal, and divine support. The imagery of soaring is often associated with the idea of rising above challenges and being lifted by God's power.

Biblical References:

1. Isaiah 40:31 : "But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint." This verse is one of the most well-known references to the concept of soaring. It promises that those who trust in the Lord will experience a renewal of strength, enabling them to rise above life's difficulties as effortlessly as an eagle soars in the sky. The eagle's flight is symbolic of freedom, power, and the ability to transcend earthly troubles through divine assistance.

2. Psalm 103:5 : "Who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s." Here, the psalmist speaks of God's blessings and the renewal of strength and vitality, likening it to the rejuvenation of an eagle. The eagle's ability to soar high and renew its strength serves as a metaphor for the spiritual renewal and vigor that God provides to His faithful.

3. Proverbs 23:5 : "When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle toward the sky." This proverb uses the imagery of an eagle's flight to illustrate the fleeting nature of earthly wealth. Just as an eagle soars swiftly and effortlessly, so too can riches quickly vanish, emphasizing the importance of placing trust in eternal, spiritual treasures rather than temporary, material ones.

Theological Significance:

In the biblical context, soaring is often associated with divine empowerment and the believer's reliance on God. The imagery of an eagle soaring is used to depict the strength and freedom that come from a life rooted in faith and trust in the Lord. It serves as a reminder that human strength is limited, but those who rely on God will find their strength renewed and will be able to rise above the challenges they face.

The metaphor of soaring also underscores the transformative power of God's presence in the life of a believer. Just as an eagle is lifted by the wind, Christians are called to be lifted by the Holy Spirit, enabling them to live victoriously and with purpose. This imagery encourages believers to maintain their hope and trust in God, knowing that He will provide the strength needed to overcome adversity and to fulfill His purposes in their lives.82. abar -- to fly
