My dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May the name of the Lord be glorified. Let us turn to Psalm 91:4: “He shall cover you with His feathers.”
The Lord promises to cover us with His feathers. There is also a verse that expresses God’s longing: “How often I have wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!” God desires to gather us under His protection, but often we are not willing to yield to Him. His desire is to shelter us under His wings. When the scripture says, “He shall cover you with His feathers,” it speaks of God’s protection, whether from strangers, enemies, or even those within our own families who may try to harm us. Just as a mother hen instinctively shields her chicks from danger, so does God shield us.
Consider how a mother hen responds when a predator, like a vulture or kite, approaches. The hen will give a warning call, and the chicks, recognizing the danger, rush to gather under her protective wings. Once under her feathers, the chicks are hidden and safe from the predator’s view. Similarly, when we come under the protection of God, we find divine safety and security. When the chicks are nestled under the hen’s feathers, they also experience warmth and comfort transmitted from her body. Likewise, when we seek refuge under God’s wings, we receive His anointing and power. His warmth and protection envelop us, filling us with His presence and strength.
Therefore, each morning, submit your family and loved ones to God’s care under His mighty wings. Ask the Lord to protect and guide them. When you entrust yourself and your family to God, He will work wonders in your life. There’s a song that resonates with this theme:
“Lord, embrace me in Your loving wings. Lord, in the shadow of Your wings, gather me. Oh Lord.”
Dear children of God, ensure that your family remains under the protection of the Lord’s wings. When you commit to staying in His shadow, His grace will be with you wherever you go. You will be blessed in your coming and going. If you place your family, business, and ministry under His feathers, He will oversee every aspect of your life, safeguarding and establishing you. He will fulfill the desires of your heart, protecting you from all harm.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, we thank You for Your promise to cover us with Your feathers. We pray that You will cover and protect Your children, their businesses, their children, their ministries, and their jobs. Hide them under Your wings and provide for them. For those who come and stand under Your feathers, grant them perfect rewards, perfect jobs, perfect income, and perfect anointing. Grant them long life and abundant blessings.
In Jesus’ Name, we pray.
Amen.
