'Do they not see the birds controlled in the atmosphere of the sky? none holds them up except Allah. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.' Quran (16:79)
I quite like this verse from the Quran and wondered if there were any equivalent verses from the bible? The analogy of God holding up His believers as the wind might a bird is really quite beautiful. (Initially I thought it was saying that birds in flight were evidence for belief, but then why would such signs be necessary for the believer?)
I thought of Isaiah 40:31, but perhaps there is a better one?
"But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles..."
