Under His Wings

This is a true story as accounted in National Geographic and it was quite
touching and thought it was good to share with you. I hope this story
blesses your life like it blessed mine.


An article in National Geographic several years ago provided a penetrating
picture of God's wings...

After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers began
their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage.

One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely
on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight,
he knocked over the bird with a stick. When he struck it, three tiny
chicks scurried from under their dead mother's wings. The loving mother,
keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base
of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing
that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety but had
refused to abandon her babies. When the blaze had arrived and the heat had
scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast. Because she
had been willing to die, that those under the cover of her wings would
live...

Psalm 91:4 "He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings
shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler."
