Thoughts for another day
September 2, 2010
Today's verse: Ps. 91:4. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)
I recd. an email y’day with a story which is:
After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the damage. One ranger found a bird appearing petrified in ashes, perched like a statue on the ground at the base of a tree. A little sickened by the eerie sight, he tipped the bird over with a stick. When he struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother's wings. The loving mother, 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. Then the blaze had arrived and though the heat scorched her small body, the mother remained steadfast...because she was willing to die so those under the cover of her wings would live.
Our God, our Father is far better than this bird. Every power is in His hand. With a Word He can bring about things to pass and His knowledge and wisdom are awesome to say the least. But what did He do to save us? He, took the disaster of sin upon Himself and laid down His life for us so we could be safe.
My friend we will never understand how much love God has for us, except when we are in some trouble and look up to Him for salvation. At the same time, when we commune with Him, He reveals Himself to us and teaches us about His love. We must listen and act accordingly. As for me, I firmly believe in our Scripture today and behold, I have experienced this myself for I met with three accidents when riding my scooter and they didn’t harm me for I know, He has covered me with His feathers and under His wings I am safe even if everything around turns upside down. Great is His love. Amen.
