Chapter 3 of A Confident Heart by Renee Swope – Finding Love that want fail, even when I do.
Verse Psalm 36:7
How priceless is your unfailing Love, o God! People take
refuge in the shadow of your wings.
The New
King James version reads “How precious is Your loving kindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust
under the shadow of Your wings”.
This verse reminds me of a mother hen, gathering her babies, under her
wings to protect them from the soaring hawk or the pending dangers during the
night. The same holds true for us as
Christians, as Children of God we can take refuge in Him. All too often we get so busy in the things of
this world that we become down (tired, weak, wronged, depressed etc.) from the cares
or darkness of this world. The more we
work, the more we worry, the more we try yet the more we seem to spiral faster
out of balance, out of control. We fill
our lives with so much, yet we fill empty.
How can this be?!?
When a baby chick wonders to far from its mother, the harder it is for
the mother hen to protect her child and the greater its chances are to be
lost. The same is true for us as
Christians, when we allow the business
of our daily lives to take us further & further away from our Father, it
becomes harder for us to feel His love & protection.
We must remember that He is our Father, our protector and come unto Him!
Like the mother hen, His love is
unfailing and filling. His Love is
#priceless and is always a #perfect love.
The “worth’s” of this world always leak through your heart but if we
allow our “worth” to be in God first and foremost, we will have the satisfying feeling
of his priceless love that will comfort us during the good times as well as the
bad.
When you look up to find the light and only see darkness, you are
simply in the shadow of Gods wings. Protecting
you while you rest, until the morning light shines again. And it WILL shine again!
