Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
The verse belongs among God's questions about the creatures He made. The eagle's mounting up, making its nest on high, and finding its prey are not at human command but belong to God's ordering and command of nature. Its rising and nesting reveal a mystery of nature that finite people cannot fully explain, showing the limits of human wisdom. The question points to God's power, which can command faith even where understanding ends.
The nest on high means a high, secure habitation beyond the reach of human disturbance. This is illustrated by the eagle's nest in Echo Canyon.
As God teaches the eagle, He also teaches His hungry children to find their Father in Scripture. The eagle's skill in finding its prey illustrates this guidance. People do not need a church to grant them the Bible or alone explain it to them.
