Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

Does the eagle soar at your command
This phrase highlights the sovereignty and majesty of God in creation, emphasizing that the eagle, a symbol of strength and freedom, operates under divine authority rather than human command. In biblical times, the eagle was often seen as a powerful and majestic creature, representing God's ability to control and sustain life. The rhetorical question underscores human limitations compared to God's omnipotence. The eagle's flight can be seen as a metaphor for God's transcendence and the natural order He established. This theme is echoed inIsaiah 40:31, where those who hope in the Lord are promised to "soar on wings like eagles," suggesting divine empowerment and renewal.

and make his nest on high?
Eagles are known for building their nests in high, inaccessible places, which serves as a metaphor for security and perspective. This behavior reflects God's wisdom in creation, as the high nests protect the young from predators and provide a vantage point over the land. In a spiritual sense, the high nest can symbolize the elevated position of those who trust in God, as seen inPsalm 91:1, where dwelling in the "shelter of the Most High" offers protection and refuge. The imagery of the eagle's nest also connects to the idea of God as a refuge and fortress, providing safety and oversight from a position of strength.

Teaching Points

God's Sovereignty in Creation
The eagle's ability to soar and nest on high is a testament to God's sovereign design and control over creation. We are reminded of our limited understanding compared to God's infinite wisdom.

Trust in God's Wisdom
Just as the eagle operates under God's command, we are called to trust in God's wisdom and timing in our lives, even when we do not understand His ways.

Strength and Renewal
The imagery of the eagle can inspire us to seek strength and renewal from God, who empowers us to rise above life's challenges.

Humility Before God
Recognizing the majesty of God's creation should lead us to humility, acknowledging our place in the universe and our dependence on the Creator.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 27. -Doth the eagle mount up at thy command? The enumeration of natural marvels ends with the eagle, the monarch of birds, as it began with the lion, the king of beasts (Job 38:39). The power of the eagle to "mount up," notwithstanding its great size and weight, is very surprising. The species intended in this place is probably the golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) or else the imperial eagle (Aquila heliaca)' which arc both of them common in Syria and Mesopotamia.And make her nest on high? The nests of eagles are almost always built on lofty, generally on inaccessible, rocks. Aristotle says,Ποιοῦνται δεαὐτὰς (sc,τὰς νεοττίας),οὐκ ἐν πεδινοῖς τόποις ἀλλ ἐν ὑψηκοῖς μάλιστα μὲν καὶ ἐν πέτραις ἀποκρήμνοις (comp.Jeremiah 49:16).
