One-minute read.
God protects His people, covering them with His wings and giving them a place of refuge. Do you have a favorite place where you like to hide from the world? I love secret places to nestle into and find rest.
As a little girl, I had several. The attic in my brother’s bedroom still has my drawings on the wall. My dad built a shed that had an upper door that led to extra storage, I loved to climb up there and watch the goings on below, no one noticing my presence. And my mom had a mock orange bush beside the garage, creating the perfect hideaway for me.
When I think of taking refuge under the Lord’s wings, I think of places like the ones I mentioned. Offering safety and security, He protects us from the enemy’s attacks. We can find rest in God’s arms when the world overwhelms us. Each morning, as I spend time with the Almighty, He draws me to Him, strengthening me for the day ahead.
Take refuge in the Lord. Whatever fears plague you, give them to the Divine Protector. Experience His peace that surpasses all understanding, hiding under God’s feathers. With the Lord as your guardian, you have nothing to fear; He will keep you safe when the storm winds blow.
Prayer:
Lord,
Thank You for offering a place to find safety under Your wings. Please help us to come to You when life overwhelms us, experiencing rest as we take refuge in You.
IJNIP. Amen
