| Psalm 55:1-11 Give ear to my prayer , O God, and do not hide Yourself from my supplication . Attend me, and hear me; I am restless in my complaint, and moan noisily, Because the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked; for they bring down trouble upon me, and in wrath they hate me. My heart is severely pained within me, and the terrors of death have fallen upon me. Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me. So I said, " Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. Indeed, I would wander far off and remain in the wilderness. I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest." Destroy , O Lord and divide their tongues, for I have seen violence and strife in the city. Day and night they go around it on its walls; iniquity and trouble are also in the midst of it. Destruction is in its midst; oppression and deceit do not depart from its streets.
The Psalmist was facing trouble. He was restless because of the voice of the enemy and the pressure of the wicked. Anyone who has been faithful about seriously living for God has known trouble from others. What do we do?
David was in aguish he longed to give in and flee the situation. He longed to have wings like a dove so he could fly away and live in the wilderness to escape trouble. If you have known heat in the kitchen of faithfulness, you have at some time just wanted out
However, the Lord does not call us to flee but to live faithfully. We are not to run but to stand. Do not take the coward's road, but find courage in God.
Circumstances are rulers of the weak, but they are weapons of the wise. We learn our emotions and resolve are not controlled by circumstances. To persist without exception becomes our battle cry. Do not long for the wings of a dove today. PERSIST! and TRUST IN GOD.
FOR IT IS WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
HAVE A VERY BLESSED WEDNESDAY!
