God's Swift Rescue
Multiple commentators, especially Charles Spurgeon, highlight that the imagery of God riding a cherub and flying on 'the wings of the wind' is meant to convey His incredible speed. When His people are in distress and cry out to Him, He doesn't delay. This verse is a powerful assurance that God rushes to the aid of those who call on Him, even when His timing feels slow to us.
