Free to Fly By Brenda Drake

One of the very first Psalms that spoke loud to me was Psalms 91.  I love the way it speaks faith and comfort of my Father’s promised care and love.  This poem explains exactly how and why I love to cozy up with God in my secret place.

Free to Fly

Nesting under the wings of love secure and safe,
Born to flourish in a world tainted with sin and hate,
Soft thoughts calm heart, soul, and mind,
With a deep knowing you are with God aligned.
The winds and hard rains of life swirl around,
With loud, hurtful, threatening sounds.
But the voice you listen to speaks,
Songs of Salvation that instills sweet peace.
Under God’s wing you are nourished by the Word.
The more you eat the more growth occurs.
You are not always anxious to try your wings and fly,
For you are comfortably secure, safe and dry.
But there is something you need to see.
You are able to fly because I am inside of thee.
Never are you out of my shelter and out from my cover.
I am your world, your Savior, Father and soul lover.
You are free to fly as the Spirit gives you wing;
As you go know I give you a heart that sings.

Psalms 91:1-2
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.

Isaiah 40:31

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;they shall mount up  with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

            I rarely felt secure as a child.  And I never felt sheltered as a young adult.  I almost always feel protected as a Christ follower.  In troubled times I remember who dwells in me and watches over me.  Jesus is my protector, my Savior and my closest friend.  I run to Him like baby chicks run to safety under their mother’s wing.

The Safe Place

There is a wonderful place,
Where you are completely safe.
In the world you may wonder and ask,
Is there truly a place we can go without lack?
Safe from the death sentence that destroys heart, body and soul?
Safe from evil that desires take control?
Safe from a life forever tainted and stained?
Safe from burden’s terrible heavy chains?
Is there a place where the angels sing?
Where in loving care there waits a loving King?
Where the sun shines and there is no worry lines on the face?
Where every sin and shame is forever erased?
Yes it is real and true.
There is such a place ahead for you.
In this place the air is clean with not a threat in sight.
In this place there is no darkness only light;
Safe from the sin and heartache of the worldly atmosphere.
However, in the care of Jesus your safe place is now right here.
Remember now your safe place is in Christ.
He is the shelter you can claim for each day of your life.

Psalms 15:8-9
I have set the Lord always before me:
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth:
my flesh also shall rest in hope.

Philippians 1:6
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good
work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

As you come and go remember the safe place is in Christ.
He is the safety you can claim for your life.
