WINGS OF A DOVE - Dolly Parton

Virginia Brandt Berg (1898-1968)

Meditation Moments 127:

"Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! Many are they that rise up against me. Many there be which say of my soul, 'There is no help for him in God.'

"But Thou, O Lord, art a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and He heard me out of His holy hill. I laid me down and slept; I awakened, for the Lord sustained me.

King David cried, "Lord, how they are increased that trouble me! Many are they that rise up against me!" And in Psalm 139, he cried out, "If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me." -- Psa.139:9,10.

He knew that no matter what the trouble, He could rise above it. He said, "Oh that I had wings." -- Psa.55:6a. You know, Man has always wanted wings, wanted to fly, wanted to get away from it all.

There is a way of living above these things! No matter what it is in your life, there is a way you can make wings out of your weights, the weights that so easily beset you and tie your soul down. Wings are often born out of weights.

When wearied with the strain of it all, we can fly to God. God has the victory for us, God has an answer for our problems. God does have the answer if we're obedient to Him. Search your heart and make sure that the obedience in there. There is some reason for these things happening and why you haven't gotten the victory, because there is victory through Jesus. "Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." -- 1Cor.15:57. You can fly to God for the rest which He has promised.

You can fly on the wings of prayer and faith, and get the relief that He alone can give you. An acquaintance of mine has this little poem tacked above her sink, which reminds me of the beautiful verse, "Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold." -- Psa.68:13.

David knew the secret of how to mount up with wings as a dove, he knew how to mount above all these things, and live above them. He just put it all in God's hands and left it with the Lord, and then slept, for he said, "The Lord sustained me."

"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." -- Isa.40:31.

There's a sort of devilish gravitation in this old World, that daily strives to keep you and pull you down. But the Word here tells u there's an upward pull if you'll live in God's Word, and if you'll pray and look to the Lord. It'll lift you right up to the very heart of God if you'll only give God a chance.

That's the principle of this everyday life of victory! Take your Bible and quietly read, read and wait upon the Lord. Talk to Him. Wait for Him to speak to you, and soon you'll run and not faint, and you'll find yourself mounting up with all the strength that you need.

Give God a chance! Take Him at His very Word and believe Him for this because God wants to help. He wants to give you the victory. Don't let anyone discourage you. God's Word stands sure and steadfast, He'll not fail you! You can mount up with wings as eagles. Stand you ground "and see the salvation of the Lord!" -- Exo.14:13. Trust in God! Keep heart, keep hope!

They that wait upon the Lord shall never be ashamed. (See Psa.69:6.) God bless you. He's still on the Throne, and prayer does change things, and He'll change things for you! Amen.
