Fly Away

I am so tired of turning on the television and being over whelmed with pictures and stories about evil begetting evil. If we don’t stand up and shout “Stop!”, where will it all end? I don’t remember the singer/songwriter but there is an old song that has the line “make the world go away, get it off my shoulders”. Its like I want to cry out and claim that line. Even the Psalmist, perhaps King David, felt that way when he wrote “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest;” (Psalm 55:6). The problem with an abundance of evil is not a new problem, but an ongoing problem. The desire to fly away and leave it all behind is not new either. Maybe it is time for us Christians to simply stand and shout, “Stop!” Maybe its time for us to trust God and His love and the truth that He wins. May today be the day that I stop seeking retribution and justice for acts done or perceived done to me, and be the day that I allow God’s victory to shine in my life. May today be the day that I stop trying to “fly away” in order to escape and be the day that I try to fly towards the evil and overcome it God’s abundant mercy and grace. May today be the day that I become set free by truly trusting in God. I think we can make a difference if you will join me. Blessings
