Psalm 91:4 He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
When I was little I used to love being 'tucked in' at night, that feeling of being safe as the sheets and blankets were snuggled in tight around me was lovely.
God wants us to have exactly the same feeling now as he reminds us we are 'tucked in' under His protective wings.
There's a true story of a mother hen who had a brood of chicks which she quickly tucked in under her wings, hiding them away to safety as a fire raged around her. When the fire died down they found her scorched body but as they lifted her wings there underneath were her chicks alive, safe and well. She died in the fire giving life to her chicks and that's what Jesus did for us. He died under the fire of God's judgement for our sin on the cross so we could now be safe and hidden under God's protective wings for all eternity.
Every now and again, throughout your day, just stop and feel God's wings of love and protection around you and tuck in closer with a thankful heart.
How amazing is the Father's love for us, how wonderful the sacrifice Jesus made for us, so we can be safe and tucked in, in Him, today. Thank You Jesus.
