God's Promises Are True

Psalms 55:6-7 (NLT) 55:6 Oh, that I had wings like a dove; then I would fly away and rest! 7 I would fly far away to the quiet of the wilderness.

Not all went in a good way for King David. It seemed that he was also dealing with people who didn’t like him on every front. By his own admission – it wasn’t the outside enemies that bothered him but those who we’re close to him that turned from him. At times, he just wanted to have wings like a dove to fly away and rest. He wanted to run to the quiet of the wilderness and not have deal with it anymore. It’s interesting to read the Psalms because you see how David’s mind worked. On one hand – you will see the situation and David’s frustration. On the other hand, he declares his trust in God almighty. He vacillated between the two but ultimately reminding himself that God would take him completely through and would travail. There is the tendency for all of us to want to run away from things but when our senses kick in – we know that we have to face the giants before us and that we need to depend upon God to be with us. It’s alright to feel like David – wanting to run and hide but it’s important most of all to trust fully in God and His grace to take you through whatever is before you. God’s promises are true and you can trust that He is not going to leave or forsake you.
