RR Psalm 55:7,8 Part 3
Shalom,
Rabbi’s note: Boom Boom!! We woke up in Jerusalem to “boom”s this morning as the incoming missiles were intercepted. So glad everyone is safe. We are witnesses to the protective hand of God. Psalm 121 declares that God is “Shomair Yisrael” (the Watchman or Guardian of Israel). A few verses later in the same Psalm we read. Psalm 121:7 Adonai will protect you from all evil. He will guard your life. 8 Adonai will watch over your coming and your going from this time forth and forevermore. This is true today as never before. We’re either coming or going! And today is the day (along with every day) He is “watching over” His people Israel (He never slumbers nor sleeps). End RN.
Psalms
Psalm 55:7,8(6,7) – Part 3
Psalm 55:7 So I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest. 8 Surely I would flee far away. I would stay in the wilderness. Selah
Rabbi Trail: Please enjoy the attached song recorded live at Shomair Yisrael (circa 2005) during a worship service about 20 years ago. “Wings Like A Dove” sung by Joe (guitar) and Lynn (bass) Goldovitz of blessed memory. We ministered with them in Israel in 2003 where they were very popular at the Israel Folk Music Festival a few times. When we were with them, they were delivering a television to an IDF military base on Mount Hermon in the Galilee. End RT.
The Hebrew in these verses is rich with meaning. Who wouldn’t like to just grow wings and fly away? Remember, David is dealing with troublesome rebellion among his children. The English translation says his destiny is “rest,” while the Hebrew word is “Esh’kona.” The Shoresh is “Shachan” (from which we get “Shekenah.” This is an expression of “God’s neighborhood” where His glory dwells. Who among us, when faced with life threatening trouble, wouldn’t like to “beat feet” and take refuge in God’s presence?
Psalm 91:4 He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge. His faithfulness is body armor and shield. Then, just a few verses later (how appropriate for today)… Psalm 91:7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
God wants us to seek Him, not just in times of trouble, but at all times. Isaiah 55:6 Seek Adonai while He may be found, call on Him while He is near. Shalom shalom.
