From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
From its high dwelling the eagle seeks out its prey, with eyes that behold it even when it is far off. It is God who teaches the eagle to find its prey. In the same way God teaches those who hunger for truth to find their Father and to find His truth in His Word. Therefore those who seek do not need the church to give them the Scriptures, nor does the church hold exclusive power to explain them.
