An article in National Geographic several years ago provided a penetrating
picture of God's wings...
After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers began
their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage.
One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely
on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight,
he knocked over the bird with a stick. When he struck it, three tiny
chicks scurried from under their dead mother's wings. The loving mother,
keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base
of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing
that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety but had
refused to abandon her babies. When the blaze had arrived and the heat had
scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast. Because she
had been willing to die, that those under the cover of her wings would
live...
Psalm 91:4 "He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings
shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler."
It is such an encouragement for me to know that God has me covered with
His mighty wings. Nothing that comes my way will have a chance to
overtake or overcome my life because I have the king of kings and Lord of
Lords, Jesus Christ on my side. Praise the Lord for His goodness and
protection for all those who put their trust in Him.
I encourage you to take refuge under the Master's wings. He is faithful
to be with you and protect you from any vice and plan the enemy has come
up with for your life. |
