Proverbs 30:18-19 (KJV):18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
These verses from Proverbs state that there are four things that are very wonderful, and yet, mysterious: how an eagle flies, how a serpent slithers, how a ship sails, and how a man and woman are attracted to one another. Solomon respected these observations by Agur and included them in his own book. We all wonder at times why things are the way they are. The only and final answer is that God created them to act this way. God's creation is truly amazing and we can learn many things by observing it.
First, looking at the eagle, he is an amazing bird, not only in the way he flies, but also in his other characteristics, as well. He is a bird who mounts up on wind currents to soar and fly in the heights. Storms create the best wind drafts, so he flies the best, when the winds are contrary. The Bible uses the eagle to describe "overcoming Christians," because we can also fly above any storm of life by mounting up in the presence of God.
