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 sicken by the
eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick.
When he 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 had 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.
