Earn your wings

                                      

The Air force is an interesting arm of the armed forces.

Associated with the air and skies, the skill with which experienced and creative fighter jet pilots maneuver their planes in the sky is a true sight to behold.

Wings are the symbol of the air force, two wings with a star.

In the air force there are qualification badges that are earned through training.

These qualification badges are called wings.

The armed forces represents one of the realms God has given man/humanity power over.

Man was given power over the marine (aquatic) realm, terrestrial (land) realm, and the air (sky) realm.

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth".

The air force is evident of the power and dominion given to man over the air.

The air force and aviation industry is evidence of air power granted to man to dominate the skies.

Like the other armed forces, the air force has ranks for their officials- from Second Lieutenant all the way up to the Air Force Chief of Staff.

As it is in the natural so it is in spirit.

There are ranks in the kingdom of God.

As wings are earned in the air force we can earn our wings in God, in His kingdom.

To earn wings in the air force you have to complete a significant stage of fly training after initial officer training.

In the kingdom of God we earn our wings.

We earn our wings through obedience.

We earn our wings by waiting.

Waiting is part of our training.

Waiting qualifies us.

We don't wait in vain, waiting time is never wasted time.

We wait on our Lord, our Master, our Instructor.

We earn our wings by waiting on God, in waiting on God we are strengthened.

Then we can walk and not be weary, we can run and not faint, and we mount up with wings like eagles to perform exploits!

We become a part of God's force.
