I\u2019ve read this recently:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe quote the Scripture from Isaiah 40:31 that talks about being borne up on the wings of eagles or with wings like eagles. There is a difference, however, between being \u201con\u201d His wings and being \u201cunder\u201d His wings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This promise in Psalm 91 verse 4 is not one of strength, it\u2019s one of protection. The psalmist compares the Lord&#8217;s protection of those who trust in him to the protection a mother eagle gives her chicks. This is depicted as the mother spreading the feathers of her wings over them. When you picture the warmth of a nest and the security of being under the wings of the nurturing love of a mother hen with chicks, it paints a vivid picture of the sheltering wing of God\u2019s protection that the psalmist refers to in this passage. Similarly, the Lord covers us with His wings.<\/p>\n<p>God is deeply committed to protecting those who are His. May you find comfort in His protection.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prayer for today<\/strong>: <em>Lord, help my heart to be willing to run to You in faith every time trouble or danger presents itself. I find joy in knowing that You will cover me under Your wings, if I choose protection by You. May I choose to seek the refuge that You have made available to me. In the name of Jesus.
