ProvisionRefuge Under His Wings
How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
David marvels at God's precious lovingkindness that causes people to take refuge in the shadow of His wings.
God's provision includes protection and shelter, not just material goods. The image of taking refuge under wings pictures both safety and intimacy - like a bird sheltering its young. God's lovingkindness creates a space of security where we can rest from threat and danger. This is provision for our deepest need for safety and belonging.
For Today
When you feel exposed or vulnerable today, consciously take refuge in God's presence, imagining His protective covering over you.
Prayer
Lord, Your lovingkindness is precious beyond measure. I take refuge under the shadow of Your wings, trusting Your protection and provision for every need, especially my need for safety in Your care. Amen.
