Commentary on Deuteronomy 32:11

Theological / Devotional

As an eagle. This is a further development of the simile given in Ex. 19:4. It suggests God’s gentle leading and protection (see Deut. 1:31; Hosea 11:3). Beareth them. This word picture suggests the loving care of Jehovah for His people, particularly during their wayward conduct in the wilderness (see Acts 13:18). God’s care and His acts of discipline are always for the purpose of developing character (see Heb. 12:11; Rev. 3:19). He designs that men should become aware of the possibilities inherent in sonship with God.
