Read about It
Read: Psalm 91:1–6
Have you ever seen how a mother bird protects her babies? She takes her wings and wraps her babies up underneath her wings to cover them. This helps to keep them away from bad weather or animals that want to eat them. As the baby birds hide themselves under their mother’s wings, they are sheltered and protected.
The Bible says that when we go to God for protection, He will cover and shelter us with His “wings.” When we’re going through hard times, it feels like we are being attacked. When the problems won’t stop, we can run to God who is always with us. We can trust Him to be faithful. He is as close to us as the air we breathe. In the times that are hard, we can call on Him and know He will always be there.
