Under His Wings

-July 30, 2025-

Good morning beloved, happy Wednesday,

“How precious is Your loving kindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.”

(Psalm 36:7).

There is no better place to abide than under the Lord’s wings. It is akin to dwelling in the center of His will, abiding in Him. There is such love, mercy, care, safety, and security in Christ.

There is a picture of a baby bird sheltering under its mother’s wings. Our mind’s eyes can envision it. The little bird has no fear, no worry, no anxiety. The mother bird has everything under control.

Oh, that we would be free from such worry and fear! His wings are stronger, safer, and more secure than anything else. As believers, we are not immune to troubles, difficulties, trials, afflictions, and sorrow. The difference is that the Lord is with us to see us through.

There is a rich hymn written by William O. Cushing, with the music by Ira D. Sankey, entitled, “Under His Wings.” The second verse says, “Under His wings, what a refuge in sorrow! How the heart yearningly turns to His rest! Often when earth has no balm for my healing, there I find comfort and there I am blessed.” The chorus reads, “Under His wings, under His wings, who from His love can sever? Under His wings my soul shall abide, safely abide forever.”

Only the Lord can comfort, encourage, and strengthen us in all we go through. Let us abide under His wings. Have a blessed day. Stay safe and healthy.

When I am down, He lifts me up; When I am weak. He gives me strength; When I am sick, He heals me; and when I am troubled, He comforts me—under His wings.
