Question of the Day: How does God protect us?
Read about It
Read: Psalm 91:1–5
When a mother bird has a nest filled with eggs or baby birds, she will perch herself on top of that nest to be a covering for her babies. She will cover and protect those babies from the storms or predators looking to attack them.
The Bible uses this illustration to help us understand how God covers and shelters us. He can be trusted and offers protection to us. We don’t have to be afraid of anything we may face because God is a faithful guardian for us to hide in. We can rest in the comfort of knowing that whatever comes our way, He will be our covering, our protection that will never fail.
