UNDER HIS WINGS
Sometimes I just want to breathe a sigh of relief and
be comforted. And that’s when I like to picture myself snuggled under God’s
wing.
Psalm 91:4 says, “He shall cover thee with His
feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust.” I love to revel in that image.
It brings peace to my mind and heart.
David said, “How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O
God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy
wing” (Ps. 36:7). Almighty God is willing to put His powerful and protective
wings over us because He loves us so much.
In another Psalm David prayed, “Hide me under the
shadow of thy wings” (Ps. 17:8). Under God’s wing nothing can hurt or harm us.
Ruth was a Moabite. When she lost her husband, her
mother-in-law told her she should go back to her people. But Ruth wanted to
stay and take care of her widowed mother-in-law. She decided, “Thy people shall
be my people and thy God my God” (Ruth 1:16). Boaz saw Ruth’s meekness and
said, “The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the
Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust” (Ruth 2:12).
I imagine Ruth was in some ways very alone in this new
place and with new people, so it must have been a wonderful feeling that she
could rely on and really feel comfort from God.
So, if you’re like me or Ruth and sometimes feel like
you need a break or some extra comfort, or you feel like David and just need to
hide, you can picture yourself cozy under the wing of God.
Love, Carolyn
