Under His wings

I have probably shared this before, but, if I have, just bear with me for a few moments. As a young child, probably until I was about six or so, I would cover my head up at night so the "boogie man" couldn't see me and get me. Now, about six or so I realized that there was no "boogie man", and if there was, the covers offered very little protection.

But, there was something comforting about hiding under the covers. There is still something comforting, maybe when we are fighting a cold or some other malady, about crawling under the covers and feeling its warmth. There is something strengthening and comforting about being enveloped in a covering.

Today's word is Psalm 61:4, ESV, which reads, "Let me dwell in Your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter or Your wings."

When things are going bad, when the storms are raging, when there seems to be no end in sight, there is nothing more comforting than GOD pulling us close and protecting us. The Bible tells us He envelopes us like a dove will envelope her children under her wings. The peace and comfort that comes from knowing that we are safe and secure in the arms of GOD cannot be explained. It is one of those things that is far better to feel than to talk about.

I pray that you feel GOD wrapping His arms around you; that you can feel Him pull you close and protect you. Because, whether you feel it or not, the truth is that He is doing just that. We can rest comfortably and securely and safely under His wings.

Be Blessed,
