I was reminded of a true account of a young lady who had been to a meeting where the preacher had been preaching on Psalm 91 and how God covers us with His feathers. He’d repeated it several times. As she was walking home she was attacked and dragged into an alleyway and the only thing that came to her mind in her panic was the word ‘Feathers’. As she struggled she shouted out the word ’Feathers!, Feathers!’ the man suddenly released her and he ran off.
(Psalm 91:4 He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you under his wings. His faithful promises are your armour and protection.)
Even if we can only remember a word of a verse God hears our cries for help. She was calling out to God because she’d just heard He would deliver her, and His angel was there standing by waiting for the word of God coming out her mouth to put him into action and she was delivered.
God does so much for us and we can forget on our dark days that His promises of protection, of His light shining into our darkness, of joy, are very real. We have to receive all of it by faith and we can, because we know He is a faithful God and He cannot lie.
So as the Psalmist says 'Let’s praise God with all our hearts' and allow His joy to shine out of us today knowing He’s covering us with His feathers.😊
