Sheltered Under His Wings

Sheltered Under His Wings

Scripture: Psalm 91:4 (NIV)

"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."

Imagine a mother bird sheltering her chicks under her wings. The wings provide warmth, safety, and protection from predators and the elements. In the same way, God offers us a place of refuge where we are safe from the storms of life. This verse assures us that we are not alone; we have a divine protector who covers us with His love and shields us from harm.

In Psalm 91:4, we are given a beautiful image of God's protection and care: "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and vulnerable. We encounter challenges, face fears, and sometimes, the weight of our burdens can seem too much to bear. However, when we face uncertainties, fears, or dangers, we can trust in God’s promise of refuge. Under His wings, we find not only protection but also peace and comfort. His faithful presence reassures us that no matter what we face, we are never outside of His care.

In the verse God's faithfulness is described as our "shield and rampart." A shield protects in battle, and a rampart is a defensive wall around a fortress. These images reinforce the idea that God’s protection is both personal and powerful. His faithfulness is unwavering; He is always there, providing us with strength and safety.

Reflect on a time when you felt God's protection in your life. How did it bring you comfort? What burdens are you carrying today that you need to bring under His wings? You can always find safety under His wings.

  Endurance in Suffering: Finding God in Pain" Romans 5:3-4 (NIV) Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope."   Romans 5:3-4 is a powerful passage that speaks to finding strength and growth through adversity. Paul encourages believers to find purpose in their suffering. Instead of being defeated by trials, we are called to persevere, knowing that endurance develops character and leads to hope. Reflecting on this passage, finding God in pain can mean recognizing His presence during our trials. Pain is a worldwide experience, something we all face at different points in our lives. In my personal journey as a Christian pain served as a facilitator for growth beyond mere affliction. The loss of a child stands as one of life's most poignant trials for a woman. Enduring several miscarriages, I clung to hope and prayer for a successful pregnancy. Yet, after week...

" God’s Timing:” The Divine Mercy in Loss

  " God’s Timing:” The Divine Mercy in Loss Isaiah 57:1 (NIV) "The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil." In Isaiah 51:1 Isaiah declares the fate of the righteous, they perish, and it goes unnoticed or misunderstood by people. We often mourn the loss of the righteous without realizing that their departure might be a merciful act from God. He spares them from future evils and suffering that they might otherwise endure. In life’s journey there are times when the events around us seem to challenge our understanding. One such perplexing event is the untimely passing of those who live righteously. Isaiah 57:1 provides a profound insight into God’s wisdom and timing, reminding us that there is a greater purpose behind what we perceive as loss. My own experience is the untimely passing of one of my most precious gift from God, my eighteen-year-old so...

Prayer In Times Of Deep Distress

  Prayer In Times Of Deep Distress 1 Samuel 1:10 (NLT) “Hannah was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to the Lord.” 1 Samuel 1:10 shows us the deep emotional pain that Hannah was experiencing. She was deeply distressed because she longed for a child and felt the pain of barrenness. Her pain was not just a passing moment but a persistent anguish that weighed on her heart. In her desperation, she turned to God in prayer, pouring out her grief and sorrow. The Lord heard and gave her the desire of her heart. Hannah is an example of someone who is unashamed to pour out their soul to the Lord, because they know that he listens, hears, cares, and relieves even the deepest of pains. When we face moments of deep distress, like Hannah, we are invited to come before God with our hearts wide open, knowing that He sees, hears, and cares. Jesus in Matthew 11:28 tell us to   “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”  This t...
