God's  Wings

 
 

An article in National Geographic several years ago provided 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 gently 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, those 
under the cover of her wings would live.

"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find 
refuge." (Psalm 91:4).

Being loved this much should make a difference in your life.
Remember the One who loves you and then be different because of it.

Please pass this on to others you care about and don't drive faster than 
your Guardian Angel can fly.
