Fly Away Lord, I wish I could just walk away from this mess and never see or deal with it again! How many of you have headed for bed with this cry on your lips? At one time or another, the fly away bug hits us all. Mothers shut in with their children all day, businessmen trapped in the pressures of making crucial decisions, and fathers working two jobs so that their families can survive are among those who wish they could run away at times and never come back. But, at the same time, you may feel guilty about your escape dreams, but you neednt. Even David dreamed of escape when he sang to the Lord: Psa 55:6-8 Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest - I would flee far away and stay in the desert; I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm. The important factor is that after his fantasy was over, David returned to reality and took active steps to resolve the dilemma which made him want to fly away in the first place. He didnt desert the ship. David decided to cast the whole depressing situation on the Lord. He concluded his song by saying, I trust in you (verse 2). If youre in a fly away mood, dont do anything foolish! Dont physically run away. Go to the Lord instead. Give up the burden to Him first. Its hard to fly like a dove with a weight around your neck! (from the devotional by Morris Cerullo)
