God's Wings

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 bird literally 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)

Being loved this much should make a difference in your

life.

Remember the One who loves you and then be different

because of it.
