He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler. v.4
Read chapter 91
God is not only our Father but our mother too. Here He's described as a mother bird carrying for her children under her wings. God has those same compassions only a mother has. The wing is as a shield of protection of the souls under her care. A divine tenderness that ought to cause us to win our confidence and secureness. When we nestle so near to the Lord as a baby chick does her mom, nothing can harm us. Let us equally nestle close to the Lord for protection and safety. We also see a double armor of safety, the second being God's truth. The shield of truth will stop and put out any flaming arrow or swords of lies and fight from the enemy. Until we have entered the land of peace let us enter into battle so armed with truth and God as our shield and refuge.
How do you see God as the compassionate mother figure type? How can you nestle closer to the Lord in whatever you're facing today?
