Protected by Wings
An article in national geographic [several years ago] painted an incredible
picture of God's love for each of us.After a forest fire in Yellowstone NationalPark, 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 the tree. Somewhat sickened by the errie sight, he knocked the bird over with a stick. Upon doing so, 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 safely 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,
those under the cover of her wings lived.
"He will cover you with His feathers and under His wings you will find refuge, His faithfulness will be your shield and your rampart". Psalm 91:4
Jesus Christ did the same for us.
