Under the Shadow of His Wings

“He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.” (Proverbs 2:7-8).
Jesus is our Lord and Protector. He orders our steps and causes us to walk uprightly. He preserves our way and guides us out of the snares of the fowler. “He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.” (I Samuel 2:9). The Lord blesses above and beyond our wildest imaginations. We may not have much by society’s standards, but we are rich beyond measure. “For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.” (Psalm 84:11). He protects us from our enemies, the Adversary and ourselves. He keeps our souls among the living and does not allow our feet to be moved. (Psalm 66:9). He covers us under the shadow of His wings. He leads us in righteousness, truth, wisdom and the way. He teaches us how to be godly men and how to treat others. Our heart’s desire should be to know Him and serve Him, for He has done so much for us. He saved us with His precious blood, so that we can spend eternity with Him. What an awesome God we serve. Men of God, when our lives are done, we will not be concerned if we were successful in the eyes of men. The only opinion that will matter is the Lord Jesus Christ’s.
