He will cover you with his feathers
An article in National Geographic several years ago provided a
penetrating picture of God's caring:
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 ash, perched statuesquely
on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie
sight, he knocked the bird over 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 arrived and the heat 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)
Being loved this much should make a difference in your life.
Remember the One who loves you and then, be different because of it.
