Defended and Covered
Like birds flying about, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem.
~ Isaiah 31:5
With outspread wing, the mother covers her little ones in the nest and makes her wings a house for them to dwell. Thus God Himself becomes the protection of His elect. He Himself is their refuge, their abode, their all.
As birds flying, and birds covering (for the word means both), so will the Lord be unto us. We shall be defended and preserved from all evil:the Lord who likens Himself to birds will not be like them in their feebleness, for He is Jehovah. The wing of God is quicker and tenderer than the wing of a bird, and we will put our trust under its shadow. (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
Please pray this prayer with me this morning. Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us of all our sins, our debts, and our trespasses against You and man, as we forgive those who are in debted to us, and those who have trespassed against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil:for Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Honor, and the Glory, forever. It is in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!
