So I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. -- Psalm 55:6
David felt it too, that temptation to relocate himself from the place of his problems to a place he imagines to be free from them. We have seen it in stories and movies, and we will feel it this week in the cold places thanks to the polar vortex thingy. If I/we just get somewhere other than here, then things will be all better. You may notice a certain similarity to our desire to be done with this place and in heaven with Jesus. However until His time comes for that reunion, we must learn to be content here, right where we are, and in Jesus, our Lord and Savior. We also have a mission to spread the good news of our Lord. We have place and we have purpose, let's forget that temptation to just fly away from it all. David concludes verse 22 in that fashion with:
He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
