RIDE THE WINGS OF THE MORNING

Psalm 139:9

If I ride the wings of the morning, 

if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, 

and your strength will support me.

'Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised.' That phrase was running through my head in the small hours of the night and I realised how true this whole psalm is because no matter how far we go or how high we climb, or whether we go as low as the grave the Psalmist reminds us that God will be there for us in order to guide us through the maze called life with all it's ups and downs.

He tells us all through scripture we don't need to be anxious about anything because He says He's giving us His own supernatural strength and ability for those days when we come to the end of ourselves which is actually a good place to be, even though it may not feel like it, because God will always be there waiting to help us. It's where we can say "Over to you Lord, I can't do it any more but You can."

So we can rest and lean into Him afresh today, knowing He cares about us, and He's going ahead of us as the year unfolds. God told Moses He is the 'I AM' because He wanted His people to know He's all we'll ever need in life. He's saying 'I AM not only all powerful, but merciful and compassionate and with Me all things are possible.'

We know praise defeats the enemy so let's lift a song of praise to our wonderful God today. He's the One who loves us unconditionally, who has all the answers to all our problems and who makes a way when we think there is none. 

So whether we're riding the wings of the morning or we've come to the end of ourselves, we can still offer a sacrifice of praise and lift the Name of Jesus high to give Him all the glory as we remember afresh how truly blessed in Him we are. Amen.😊
