If you place a falcon in a 1 yard enclosure, totally open above, the bird, despite its ability to fly, will remain a prisoner. The reason is because the falcon always starts its flight running on the ground. Without the space to run, it won’t try to fly and will be a prisoner for the rest of his life. In this small jail without a ceiling.

The bat, animal agile in its flight, can’t fly off flat ground. If we put it on a flat ground, all he can do is to walk in a strange and painful way, seeking for some elevation on the ground where he can throw himself.

If a male bee falls into an open container, it will remain there until he dies or somebody removes it because it can’t see the exit above, and persists in trying to exit on the sides seeking for a way out without any success until death.

There are people like the falcon, the bat and the bee: they throw themselves against the obstacles, without realizing that the exit is above them.

If you live like a male bee, a bat or a falcon, surrounded by problems on all sides, look to the heavens and there is God, ready to help you, from a distance. All it takes is prayer.

See Exodus 14:15-26, the exit there was also above.
