"Under the Cover of His Wings"
An article in National Geographic several years ago provided a
penetrating picture of God's wings. After a forest fire in Yellowstone
National Park, forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess
the inferno's damage. One ranger found a bird literally petrified in
ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree.
Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a
stick. When he struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their
dead mother's wings.
The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her
offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her
wings,instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could
have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. When the
blaze had arrived and the heat had singed her small body, the mother had
remained steadfast.
Because she had been willing to die, so those under the cover of her
wings would live.
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find
refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalm 91:4
