“ He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.”Psalms 91:4, N.I.V.

The human condition drives us to seek for security because a lot of things often go wrong. We struggle with our finances, we get sick, we get old and weak, others disappoint and betray us, people come to our houses to rob us, and so on.

God’s love reaches out to us to show us the right path that will offer sustenance and protection from the world. The blood of Christ, his righteousness and salvation offers us a protective shield that prevents our troubles from consuming us. It is our faith in Him, His Word and the Holy Spirit that indwells in us that consists of the wing of feathers under which we shelter. There is a deep yearning in us to be united with God. It is only under his wings that our hearts can rest. When we return to God we have a sense of deep peace and joy irrespective of our circumstances.

But God does not force us to come to Him. He gathers those that answer His call. He wants us to love and acknowledge our helplessness without Him.  He says, “He will call on me, and I will answer him;    I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.” Isaiah 91:15.

Call on Him and snuggle under His mighty wings. He will work through your situation in an amazing way. With Him no harm will overtake you.

"When the devil knocks at the door of my heart, I take Jesus by the hand. I ask Him to go with me to answer the door. When I open the door, the devil sees me and Jesus standing hand in hand and he says, "Excuse me, I must be at the wrong place." He leaves". ~ Herbert C. Gabhart
