He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge; (Psalm 91:1-2, 4)
I love the imagery used by the psalmist: we are hiding beneath the wings of God, finding shelter, safety and comfort.
It seems likely to me that Jesus had this psalm in mind when he spoke of his heart's desire for Jerusalem:
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing."
Lord, I am willing--gather me under your wings. I want to view life through feathers.
