I will cover you with My feathers and protect you with My wings.

Psalm 91:4

He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge.
His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

Psalm   91 is one of my favorite psalms that    speaks of Almighty God’s   protection and covering. I love the imagery   of  this verse in   particular. Just imagine for a minute what   the  psalmist is portraying   in this verse… The Most High God covers  us   with His feathers and  protects us with His wings.

When  I  think  about this promise, I  imagine God as a majestic eagle  and  we  are His  little chickadees who  live in the shelter and safety of   His   magnificient wings. Nothing can   harm us there. We are completely   safe   and secure.

Another   picture that comes to my mind when I  think of  this   verse is that of a  little child who seeks refuge  under their dad’s    raincoat in the   midst of a storm, hanging tightly  onto his leg,    completely sheltered  from the storm.

Both  pictures bring me a    sense of peace and  safety and security knowing  that God is my refuge and    my safe place.  This promise does not only  paint a nice picture for  us,   but it  declares a spiritual reality  that we can live in all the    days of our  lives.

The truth is  that we are safe and secure under   the    protection of our heavenly  Dad’s wings… no matter how scary it is     outside of His care! May  the reality of this promise become more and     more real to each and  every one of us!
