"Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth."
Psalms 124:7-8
I like the poetic feeling of this. It is a beautiful way to think of the atonement, and the way Christ saves us from the snares that we experience on earth, and too often set for ourselves, getting too caught up in the world and neglecting the things of heaven.
In keeping with the analogy, I think we forget how to fly, and sometimes think that our nature is to stay on the ground, but not so, and Christ reminds us of that, and lifts and strengthens us, reminding us of our eternal natures and our destiny beyond this life.
Today, let's remember who we are--not of the earth or mortality, but of spirit and immortality, and God is the one that can help us regain the sky. :)
