Psalm 91:4 NLT He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armour and protection…v.11 For He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
I was sitting looking at my Christmas feather wreath I made years ago when today’s verse about feathers came to my mind. It’s amazing how the Holy Spirit can connect things together for us and the importance of having put His word inside us so He can bring it back when we need it.😊
I’m reminded of a true account of a young lady who had been to a meeting where the preacher had been speaking on these verses in Psalm 91 and the protection God has promised us.
He kept referring to being under God’s feathers, under the wonderful shelter and protection of His wings. Over and over again he talked about being protected by His feathers!
As she was walking home in the dark later that evening she was attacked and ruthlessly dragged into an alleyway. Although she was terrified by what was happening one word came to her mind from what the preacher had said, so she screamed out “Feathers, Feathers!” You see although in the terror of the moment she couldn’t remember the whole verse the Holy Spirit reminded her she was under God’s feathers and she believed it.
The man suddenly released her and was later caught and taken to the police station. When asked why he let her go he said, “I saw two huge men at the end of the alley coming towards me, so I ran off.”
Sometimes we forget we have the protection of Almighty God and His promises are our armour and our protection. We can call on Him night and day and his angels immediately respond and obey His word.
Psalm 103:20 NIV Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.
So this is an encouragement today to put His word in our hearts and in our mouths, so the Holy Spirit can help us to use it and give our angels God’s word to perform in our lives, for our protection, or whatever we need, when we need it. How about having another read of Psalm 91 today?😊 Amen.
