GOD’S WINGS

Psalm 61:3-4 NLT for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me. Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and it’s so much easier when God gives us a picture to imagine because it stays in our minds much better. 

He is helping us see ourselves in a safe place protected by His wings, by His presence, and our part is to run to Him to be under His wings and not try to struggle on by ourselves!

Psalm 91:4 NLT He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. When we’re under His wings He will remind us of His amazing promises and they will be like a protective shield, no matter what the enemy taunts us with!

Psalm. 57:1 NLT Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy! I look to you for protection. I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings until the danger passes by. We have to be close to something for its shadow to fall on us and we’re the same with our loving Father. He doesn’t say the dangers won’t come but when we’re close to Him, His presence will protect us till the threat has come and gone.

Psalm 63:7-8 NLT Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely. Look what happens when we cling to God, when we’re under His wings, surrounded by His presence. We will discover ourselves singing for joy because we know we’re safe and secure. What a lovely picture! That’s how we need to see ourselves!😊

Malachi 4:2 NLT But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. There are many more verses about being under His wings but this is a lovely one to finish on today. We’re to see ourselves under His wings being healed of  whatever has come against us and allow His healing to flow into our whole beings, knowing the enemy is under our feet when we’re under His wings.

I hope you’re getting the picture and you’re tucked in enjoying being under God’s wings today and every day.😊 Amen.
