Ps 57:1
“… yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make
my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.”
KJV
The
Lord reveals Himself in the picture of a mother hen here. He connects to His servant as one who wants
to identify Himself as a place to hide in until calamities have passed
over. When my husband was in the
Philippines one time a heavy, tropical downpour hit the house where he was
staying. On the grounds were baby chicks
and their mama. He saw the mama hen go
around with her wings open scooping and covering her little chicks into a safe,
warm, down-filled area close to her heart and away from the torrential
waters. Our God knows that calamities
come and oftentimes they must. He wants
us to make Him our refuge during the times of calamity and downpours. He isn't just a mighty fortress from deadly
arrows, but a tender God who wants us to feel safe, loved and dry. Draw near and sense His heart for you.
