Hide me under the shadow of your wings. Psalm17:18
Here we are watching, waiting, preparing, embracing the coming of Christmas and I was reflecting on these matters from the sacred space when I saw a baby bird that had been thrown out of the tree along with its nest in the storm that had just been. It was stunned and anxious as was its mother watching from close by. I picked up the little one and it stood on its feet but was too young to fly. It hopped off into the bushes where it was comforted by its mother and though still in the storm was feeling safe under her wings. I thought of the storms in our lives and how we flounder and fall away from home. God is the father/mother that can calm the storms for us and bring peace when caught in the storms of life. What a great feeling it is to know we can run to him and hide under the shelter of his wings. What imagery!
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ. Anne, servant of the Lord
