Psalm 55:6a "Oh, that I had wings like a dove..."
Day 157 – Psalm 55
“Oh, that I had wings like a dove…” Psalm 55:6a
FIGHT OR FLIGHT
David was caught in a terrible emotional maelstrom. The warrior part of David wanted to fight. But the very human part of David suggested flight instead. He struggled hard with feelings of flight.
“So I said, ‘Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest.
Indeed, I would wander far off,
And remain in the wilderness,
I would hasten my escape
From the windy storm and tempest.'”
Psalm 55:6-8
