Feathers Up Close
Today as I was in prayer I was calling out to our God, Yahuah (Lord), to give me wisdom. In this world, in this life, we can become overwhelmed and get off track in so many small ways. By off track I mean to lose focus on God and His ways. The result is we can feel distant from God. I was seeking wisdom about how to create a closer walk with God. Perhaps not many have experienced this desire, but it was as if I wanted to make a permanent change so that I would not get off track. As I prayed, Yahuah gave me a vision of a huge feathered wing first in front of me and then covering me. It reminded me of several scriptures.
Psalms 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
This is a well known scripture, and I have read it many times. Today I got more meaning from it. As I read some other passages I was reminded of the Ark of the Covenant. There are wings of angels that cover it. This too is a type of secret place, being in the holy of holies. It was the place of annual sin offering, and it represents what is today our hearts, among other things. We have the blood of the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) that covers us when we repent and seek forgiveness. Therefore we are in that secret place under God’s wing. There is another verse that adds to the clarity of this further on.
Psams 91:14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
Here we see that because we know His name, Yahuah (Lord), we lift us up. We do not earn the right to be in the secret place. If we give our lives to God, then through that very redemption by the blood of our Messiah, we are there. It makes me thankful to know that my God loves and cares for me, even when I make mistake.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You as our Mighty King. We need Your kingdom in our lives today. Send us Your promised provision today. We need You so much. Forgive us when we walk astray. Do not hold our transgressions against us. Heal and deliver us. We need Your protection. We need You to stand and defend us from those around us that would kill us and steal from us. We thank You for always being our all in all. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name.
