Fly Away

 

Fly Away

 

“So I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.”  Psalms‬ ‭55:6‬ NKJV

Have you ever just wanted to fly away and rest? David expressed that feeling to God. He wanted to escape from the chaos around him.

Oh, That I Had Wings to Fly 

Covid-19 has taken over the news and the conversations. All the mandates and fears have become overwhelming. On top of that, people are still dealing with the ‘normal’ issues of life. People are still suffering from and getting treatments for cancer, heart disease and diabetes to name a few. Loved ones and friends have died. There are financial problems, marital problems and, for crying out loud, the AC has stopped working. Children may or may not be in school at the beginning of the year.

I repeat David, “Oh, that I had wings!”

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”  ‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭1:3-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

God Comforts

Since it is impossible to fly away, God is the God of comfort. He comforts us no matter the situation we find ourselves. So, how do we find that comfort because, to be honest, sometimes I don’t feel comforted. Well, the answer stares me in the face. I’ve allowed my circumstances to take control of my mind and life. I’ve stopped focusing on God and His promises. Yes, I know it is hard to find that quiet time to get on your knees and be undisturbed. Sometimes we even choose not to spend that special time with God because there is something else we would rather do.

“He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.”  I John‬ ‭4:8-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

God Is Love

God’s love is something for which I am thankful.

At this moment, I choose to find rest in Him. Will you choose that, too? Find a secluded place and dwell on the presence of God. Imagine His arms around you giving comfort and warmth. God is love. He loves you and me so much that He sent His Son to die for us.

My Beloved

Take a few minutes to find rest in Him. Allow the song My Beloved by Kari Jobi to minister to you.

About Paula Wallace

A child of God, wife, mother and grandmother of 6 precious children. I love art, nature and treasure my dear friends. Through the valleys and mountaintops, God led me to His saving grace at the age of 32. Since then the valleys and mountaintops have proven His love to me. I am learning to trust Him in all things. My prayer is that you, too, accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and trust Him. The Bible verse that I lean on mostly is Proverbs 3: 5-6 “ Trust in the Lord with all your heart. And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path.”NKJV Paula Wallace
