Birds of a Feather

Psalm 91:3-4
Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

A while ago an old friend of mine when to the gulf of Mexico to help with the oil spill. The pictures they took showed the birds on the posts and the oil all around them. They found refuge on the strong tower.
In a Sunday school class one year our pastor's wife read a story about a mother hen. There was a great fire and the mother hen didn't fly around and go crazy. The mother hen instead tucked her baby hens under her wings. The fire blazed and the firemen eventually put it back. When they picked up the corpse of the mother hen the babies were safe and alive.

God is our protector He even came from Heaven to earth as Jesus in order to die for us so that we would not have to face death. God loves us and He will never fly away from us during a time of trouble. He will always smother us with unfailing unconditional love and keep us safe.

I love this following scripture because whenever I am afraid or worried I remember God cares for the little birds. He protects them and provides for them. He will protect us and provide for us!

Matthew 6:26
Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are?
