Wings

If I had wings, I would fly.

-Warren G

Isaiah saw seraphim and mentions first their wings. What wondrous things they must have been! Man has no wings. We are bound in God’s will to this ground from which we were made. And yet sometimes we long for them, as King David says: “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away” (Psalm 55:6). But wings or no, one day we will fly. It suits us, therefore, to live humbly before the Lord until that time when he calls us to meet him in the air.
