[:en]UNDER HIS WINGS
Bird feathers are an amazing example of God’s design. Feathers have a smooth part and a fluffy part. The smooth part of the feather has stiff barbs with tiny hooks that lock together like the prongs of a zipper. The fulffy part keeps bird from wind and rain. But many baby birds are covered in a fluffy down and their feathers have not fully developed. So a mother bird has to cover them in the nest with her own feathers to protect them from wind and rain.
The image of God “covering us with His feathers” in Psalm 91:4 is one of the comfort and protection. God’s comforting presence provides safety and protection from life’s emotional storms.
When there is trouble and heartache, when you feel hopeless, flee to God. “He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge” (Psalm 91:4) – (Linda Washington)
