Do you ever have moments where you don’t want to be the adult anymore but to be the child where you can be sheltered while someone else is the responsible one? Or maybe that’s just me?

This imagery of being in the shadow of God’s wings appears several times in the Bible. I imagine myself tucked up safe and secure, hidden under a wing like a hen protects her chicks. There may be storms raging around me but I am ultimately protected and helped. What a deep sense of security!

That security releases a childlike sense of joy. I can delight in that help and protection in the midst of the hard times. I can release the burden of being solely responsible. I just need to remind myself that I am in the shadow of His wings.

Questions:
When was the last time you felt that sense of security that bubbled over into joy?
How can you remind yourself of that promise of being under the shadow of His wings?

Prayer:
Lord, I need your help and protection today. Thank you that I am covered by the shadow of your wings. Amen
