One-minute read.
He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings, you will find REFUGE.
Psalm 91:4a
Life throws things at us we didn’t ask for or want. When the unexpected happens, we can take refuge under the wings of our loving Heavenly Father, who protects us. The Lord doesn’t promise us that bad things won’t happen but that He will protect us when they do.
I am grieving the loss of a dear child in my life; she died unexpectedly. In the grip of heartache, tears fell from my eyes as I mourned her. Knowing Jesus holds her in His arms comforts me, but her family and friends miss her presence on Earth. God meets us in our darkest hours. Amid my tears, I felt the Lord’s presence as He collected them, putting them in the bottle marked Beth.
“You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.” Psalm 56:8
No tear goes unnoticed by the Lord; He weeps with us when we weep. Covering us with His wings, God shelters us in the storm, giving us refuge from the unexpected heartaches we experience in this world. One day, we will reunite with our heavenly Father and those who have gone before us. But until then, we can take shelter beneath the wings of the Creator. Seek refuge in the Lord, and you will find it.
Application:
God covers us with His wings.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for covering us with Your wings and giving us refuge from the world’s heartache. Let us seek You in our grief, finding comfort in Your arms. Bless us with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
IJNIP. Amen
