  1. A LESSON FROM GEESE ♫ Turn on your speakers! CLICK TO ADVANCE SLIDES

  2. Have you ever wondered why migrating geese fly in a V formation? As with most animal behavior, God had a good reason for including that in their instincts.

  3. As each bird flaps its wings, it creates uplift for the bird following. In a V formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% more flying range than if each bird flew alone.

  4. Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to fly alone… …and quickly gets back into formation.

  5. Like geese… … people who share a common direction and sense of direction can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the thrust of each other.

  6. When a goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies at the point position. If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who are headed in the same direction we are.

  7. Geese in the rear of the formation honk to encourage those up front to up their speed. It is important that our “honking from behind” be encouraging. Otherwise it’s just - well - honking.

  8. When a goose gets sick or wounded, two other geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and provide protection. They stay with the unhealthy member of the flock until it is either able to fly again or dies.

  9. Then they launch out again with another passing flock or try to catch up with their own. May we be so sacrificial, that we may be worthy of such friends in our time of need.

  10. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A SCIENTIST... …To learn from God’s marvelous creation; you only need to stop long enough to observe and let Jehovah reveal His wonders to you. Romans 1:20

  11. “Ask, please, the domestic animals, and they will instruct you; Also the winged creatures of the heavens, and they will tell you; Or show your concern to the earth, and it will instruct you; And the fishes of the sea will declare it to you. Who among all these does not well know that the hand of Jehovah itself has done this?” JOB 12:7-9 SOMEONE “ASKED” THE GEESE PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON TO OTHERS!
