David prays for the Wings of a Dove so he can fly far away to a place of rest....Have You ask for wings lately???
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." (Psalms 55:22 KJV)
If we take this verse at face value it is a powerful promise from God to sustain us!!! But we need to dig deeper into the verse by reading the whole chapter to see just how heavy the burden was that David cast on the Lord. It will give us even more hope and strength!! Take time to read the chapter 2-3 times, slower and more deliberate each time!!
This burden is so heavy that David's heaviness upon him has him crying loud unto the Lord due to the voice of oppression, iniquity, wrath, and hatred of those that have come against him in every way!!! David's chest is hurting, he feels the terror of death and with such anxiety he feels certain that death is soon!!! He is overwhelmed with fear, trembling and horror!! In verses 3-5 David describes the worst possible anxiety attack that can consumed you!!!
David prays for the Wings of a Dove so he can just fly away to a place of rest that is far away from here!!! David says he is going to pray morning, noon and night because He knows his God will fight his battle for him and win!!! In verse 21 he describes his enemies......they are the dangerous kind, smooth talkers but war and hatred is in their hearts!!
"The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords."
(Psalms 55:21 KJV)
Now let us cast our heavy weight upon our God! He can sustain us because we are deeply embedded in a righteous foundation that cannot be moved!!! Jesus Christ is the Anchor of our souls so cast your burden upon Him because He alone can carry the weight while sustaining us at the same time!!
