“HE ALONE IS MY REFUGE, MY PLACE OF SAFETY; HE IS MY GOD, AND I TRUST HIM.  FOR HE WILL RESCUE YOU FROM EVERY TRAP AND PROTECT YOU FROM DEADLY DISEASE.  HE WILL COVER YOU WITH HIS FEATHERS.  HE WILL SHELTER YOU WITH HIS WINGS. HIS FAITHFUL PROMISES ARE YOUR ARMOR AND PROTECTION.” PSALMS 91:2-4 (NLV)

It is interesting that in this passage God analogizes Himself to a figure having “Wings” and just as a mother bird provides shelter, protection and comfort to her young, God Himself promises to provide these necessary things to us as His children. In fact, as sons and daughters of the Most High, we have many promises throughout the Word of God that serve as His personal assurance of protection from predators, peace-stealers and personal struggle. Not EXEMPTION from life’s hardships but a place to shelter from them in order to survive and thrive.
