His Wings

Published on by amylinneaLeave a comment

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalm 91:4

Your God promises to completely cover you with Himself.

Hiding you under His wings.

You will find refuge there.

Safety.

His faithfulness is your shield.

Your impenetrable shield.

Visually saw an example recently with, yes, Wonder Woman ’84.

There’s a scene where a warrior is completely enveloped within iron wings closed around her.

The enemy is literally right there, flinging weapons.

But the “feathers” or wings keep her safe.

I love to picture God surrounding me with His armor.

His protection for whatever comes my way.

Thank you, God, for always covering me with You.

There’s no place I’d rather be.

Hiding

“Am I a God at hand,” declares the Lord, “and not a God far away? Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him?” declares the Lord. “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord. Jeremiah 23:23-24

What are you hiding?

A secret?

What is your deepest fear?

What are you hiding behind?

Job status?

A relationship?

Sin?

Do you subscribe to the notion that no one would like you if they really knew the whole you?

These all boil down to fear, due to misplaced trust.

Trusting in yourself before God.

When you hide in your fears, you place yourself in charge.

You are telling God you don’t trust Him.

Come out.

Come out from behind the couch and place your hand into God’s.

Tell Him your fears.

Tell Him your anxieties.

Ask Him to replace them with the truth.

His truth.

He’ll do it.

He’ll cover you with His feathers, encapsulating your very self.

Instead of hiding from God, hide within Him.

Use His protection against fear.

Use His protection against anxiety.

Use His truth to replace the lies you’ve believed your whole life.

After all, He already knows everything.

And He’s still right beside you. Always.
