Ready to fly away with me?
Our borders are limitless! Our confinement
is as narrow as we allow it to be.
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.
Psalm 55:6-8 niv
The dove
has neither claw nor sting
nor weapon
for the fight.
She owes her safety to the wing
her victory to flight!
The Bridegroom
opens His arms of love
and in them folds
the panting dove.*
*H. W. Smith
It is in my mind, on His wings of Truth, that I flee to my place of safety--my shelter--the arms of my Bridegroom. Sometimes I am so out of breath when I get there--all "trembly" and panting, dove-like. But He holds me tenderly and speaks gently--assuring me of His love and His protection. And I rest. Safe.
Scripture
About this Plan
Has your faith become more of a burden than a source of joy and rest? The Christian life is not difficult to live. It's impossible to live! God never intended for you to live it. Jesus Christ is the only one who who has ever successfully lived the Christian life, and His plan is to live it through you. We expend so much energy spinning our wheels, trying to live for God instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to live through us. In this deeply personal, encouraging devotional plan, Anabel Gillham comes alongside you to teach you how to allow Christ to express His overcoming life through you on a moment-by-moment basis. It will remind you of who you are in Christ. It will open the floodgates of God's grace, guiding you to experience true rest and freedom in the midst of the storms of life.
