Shadow Of Wings

This morning in prayer I asked God what I should write about that would encourage me and those that read these pages. He lead me to Psalm 63. Wow! It was definitely an encouragement to me. It starts off with the Psalmist rising early to praise and seek God. That was a fit for this morning for sure. Over the years I have found that life seems a little better every day when I have taken time first thing in the morning to reach out to praise God and to pray. It also speaks of being close to God, under the shadow of wings, following close behind. I don’t think I ever thought about God having wings before this morning. Perhaps it refers to the wings of His angels, which is also very encouraging. It is like there is the army of spiritual fighter planes flying over me to protect me. Then it says His right hand upholds me. We have a squadron of spiritual fighter planes above, it says He will destroy our enemies, and His right hand holds us up in our position near Him.

And, oh yes, that right hand would be Jesus. Now that is amazing and encouraging!

Prayer
Father, we praise and thank You for all You do to watch over us. Thank You for the wings and their shadow. Thank You that we are held in position by Your Son, Jesus. Thank You. In Jesus name. Amen.
