SHELTERING WINGS

Devotional for Sunday 3/25/12

There may be times in our lives when we feel like a tiny speck of dust in the universe, buffeted about by the slightest breeze. We may feel weak and overwhelmed by circumstances beyond our control, at the mercy of some greater power than ourselves. But that is a good thing! When we acknowledge that we cannot "go it alone" and that we only have control over our own responses to life's situations, then we can accept God's presence in our lives as our guide and protector. Knowing that God is ever faithful and will never leave or forsake us brings us great comfort.

I love this picture of the baby birds being sheltered by the wings of their parent, with the reminder that God shelters us as well:

Psalm 91:4

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 NIV

May we forever remain under God's wings!
