Another Favorite Verse

.My place of rest. At least, I want it to be!

Here's another of my unusual favorite Bible verses. See if you can relate to the emotion of wishes of King David, who penned these words in the midst of great personal stress.

Fear and trembling have beset me; horror has overwhelmed me.
I said, “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.” (Psa 55:5-8)

Don't you just want to run away from it all? Yet, don't you know that running won't make a problem disappear? But we desire to run anyway. Some to shelters of family, friends or church. Others to addictions. A few find vacations as a shelter. The odd person or two actually does run away!

What do YOU do when stress gets to be too much to bear?

Be God's!
