What's the Good Word?
Psalm 55:6 “Oh that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest; yes, I would wander far away; I would lodge in the wilderness; I would hurry to find a shelter from the raging wind and tempest.”
Anyone ever feel like flying the coop? This Psalm, for sure, speaks my human heart’s cry when life gets heavy, or scary, or hard. I am prone to wander, to seek shelter in my ‘lodge in the wilderness” otherwise affectionately known as my “cave”. When life is pressing in or I have been wounded, when I fall short or God feels far from my daily life, I often sense, “my cave is calling and I must go.” What happens in this proverbial cave? well, a whole lotta searching and assessing, a little licking of my wounds, a ton of Psalm 139:23-24ing (“Search me O God and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”), and hopefully… restorative healing. But for sure, as I process and seek to emerge, I admonish myself to read on and trust the words further into Psalm 55…”But I call to God, and the Lord will save me. Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and HE HEARS MY VOICE. HE REDEEMS MY SOUL IN SAFETY FROM THE BATTLE THAT I WAGE…” (verses 16-18). Whatever battlefield you are on right now, take the time to look inward and Upward, read on, and trust! He hears you, friend!
