What does it mean that God stirs up the nest?

Answered in 1 source

Stirring up the nest refers to God making His people uncomfortable to awaken them to their spiritual needs.

The phrase 'stirring up the nest' signifies God's action in the lives of His people to awaken them from spiritual complacency. In Deuteronomy 32:11, the eagle's act of stirring the nest represents how God intervenes in our lives, often through hardship or discomfort, to reveal our need for Him. Just as a mother eagle makes her nest uncomfortable, prompting the eaglets to leave and learn to fly, God uses the challenges of life to provoke us to seek Him and grow in faith. This stirring is a loving action, aimed at guiding His people toward dependency on Him and spiritual maturity.
