Under your wings
In pioneer days, wood-burning locomotives frequently sparked fires. Wheat ripens enough to burn 10 to 15 days before it is ripe enough to cut, and sometimes the fires swept wheat fields for 10 miles. One day a farmer saw billows of smoke in the distance and knew his house, barn, and surrounding buildings were in danger. He set backfires and burned his own wheat fields in a circle so that when the great fire met the place he had burned, it passes around and went on. With that backfire the farmer saved his buildings but lost his crop. As he walked the burned field grieving, he saw the charred body of a hen. He tipped the hen over with the toe of his boot, and out ran a dozen little chicks. Because the mother's burned body was over them, the chicks lived. Because she had been willing to die, those under the cover of her wings would live!
Somedays all I want is to know I am protected. Not necessarily protected from life's dangers, but more so protected (affirmed) in God's calling on my life. Somedays I get so frustrated thinking that God has something bigger and better for me. I allow those frustrations to take control and before you know it I am spinning in a whirl wind of doubt and uncertainty. Let us take a step back and experience the warmth and protection of life beneath the wings of the Almighty!
"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge." Psalm 91:4
