Wings

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

We all have times when it seems like the cares and troubles of life weigh us down. We ask for help, we seek rest and relief. We grow weary in well doing. And in these times it is natural to seek relief from the stresses of life. David in these words expresses his desire to allowed to get away for what was troubling him.

Why did David only ask for doves wings? Was his faith in God weak? Did his faith not believe that nothing is too hard for the Lord? David was not trying to quit, just rest. His faith then was very small at this time.

God does not promise to only give us wings like a dove, but He promises to give us wings like an eagle!

"But those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like an eagle, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Isa.40:31

We can face anything when we have eagles wings!

One more thought on wings. What does this verse say to you?

"But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings." Mal.4:2

When the woman with an issue of blood wanted to touch the hem of His garment, she felt the healing in His wings. We can touch the hem of His garment today!
