FLEE TO HIM

Psalms 11:1 In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

Jesus commented and said that the children of the world are wiser than the children of light (Luke 16:8). Have you ever heard some unbeliever say that faith is for the weak and the dependant? If they only knew! In the sight of the world, people who are dependant, insufficient in themselves, can look like weaklings, easy to take advantage of and overcome—‘easy targets’ they say.

People of faith can sometimes seem like easy preys. They can be like a little frightened bird, “Go; go to your mountain” The big bullies tells him. “We’ll give you a sporting chance to escape, but get out of our sight before we devour you!” Little do these bullies know that back at his mountain homeland, the frightened bird has a concerned Father who knows of every fallen sparrow and who dresses every blade of grass (Luke 12:6; Matthew 6:30). He is there waiting to come to the defense of the weak, and to unleash His wrath against the insolents who have dared to touch one of His protégés.

So flee little bird yea, flee to your mountain; do as they say. Because you have put your trust in the Lord and whereas they may think they take advantage of you, your Father will bless your trust and be your everlasting protection. When He comes to your rescue and they feel His wrath, they will be alone; they do not have a loving father to help them.

Psalms 91:1-4 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
