Oh that I had wings like a dove. I would fly away and be at rest.
This is only part of the picture and has more to do with retreat and recovery from struggle - not avoidance, which is the source of my desire for isolation.
Verse 18 describes the battle and His involvement:
He redeems my soul in safety from the battle that I wage, for many are arrayed against me.
Verse 22 assures me of security:
Cast your burdens on the Lord and He will sustain you. He will never permit the righteous to be moved.
I don't like to move, but my sense is driven by passivity - not stability. They are very different. I need to avoid fooling myself by thinking that they are similar.
