Wings: September 12, 2016

TODAY’S WORD FOR MONDAY SEPTEMBER 12, 2016.
WINGS

DEFINITION:

A limb usually occurring in pairs; a flight.
SCRIPTURE:

Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. Psalm 55:6.



KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:

David wrote openly and honestly about the ups and downs in his life. Although he was King, life was not easy. He had violence, oppression and strife around him on all sides. Much of this was stirred up by disloyalties from old friends and even family. On many occasions fear and terror, pain and trembling, anxiety and restlessness overwhelmed him. No wonder he wrote in the verse above that he wanted wings so he could fly away.

When many of us face strife, pain or anxiety we want to go somewhere to get away from it all. So we can understand how David felt when he wrote this verse (above). You can hear him sigh and say, oh, if I only had wings like a dove, I would get out of here and fly away and be at rest for a few days.

Certainly David was a man of great faith and walked with the Lord his God, yet even he had those moments in life when he felt he could bear no more. He just wanted to escape the pressures of this evil world. No matter how close we are to God we will have to deal with an evil world. There is no way of escaping it, not even for David who was a King.

David could only give his circumstances to God. In Palm 55:16-17 he writes, “As for me, I will call upon God, and the Lord shall save me. Evening and morning and noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice.”

David was confident that when he called upon the Lord, the Lord would hear him and would protect him. There is no escaping from the difficult situations we face in life. But whatever our circumstances, a difficult marriage, a problem child, a loss of a job, the loss of a loved one, neighbors that are hurtful, or deep loneliness, we can give them to God.

God has lifted the burden of our sins so will He not lift the weight of our distress and sorrows? We have trusted Him with our eternal souls, can we not trust Him with our current circumstances. In Psalms 55:22 it reads, “Cast your burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain you.” Because God cares for us, we can leave our cares with Him.



LEARNING:

Our memory verse for this week is found in Job 41:22.

Strength dwells in his neck, and sorrow dances before him.



PRAYER:

I am so grateful that I can put in Your hands all my cares and concerns. Help me to teach my family and friends to daily cast their cares and concerns upon You, knowing that You will in turn care for them.
