>A great little story. Hope it helps you as you start the day! >V/R, >Chaplain McGeory > > > >"Under the Cover of His Wings" > >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 singed her small body, the mother had remained steadfast. > >Because she had been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings >would live. > >He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find >refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalm 91:4 > > >
