GOD’s WINGS
I am deeply moved when I read this story. I wish I could be as steadfast as the bird, specially in times of adversities. For my kids, I would do anything to keep them safe under my wings - and I know all mothers would do that. More so, I know God will always keep us under His - giving us refuge anytime we need it.
God’s Wings
– Author Unknown
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 birdliterally 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 gently 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 refused to abandon her babies. When the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast.
Because she had been willing to die, those under the cover of her wings would live.
“He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge.”
Psalm 91:4
