Psalm 91:4

He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.

Explanation

Another word for pinions is feathers. The word used here is ’ebrah (אֶבְרָה), and it is specifically the strongest feathers of a bird. The analogy is the strongest part of God's character being able to shield our frailty from harm.

Inspiration

Where might you be feeling frail? Are you coming under fire lately, or do you feel like the target of attack? God is able to shield the innocent and protect those who are in need of His help.

Application for Today

Don't try to handle things in your own strength. Call out to Him and know that He is ever present and ever attentive to your situation.

Prayer

Father God, Help me to know you are near. Remind me that I am covered under you wing. In my frailty, help me to sense your covering. Be close to me in my hour of need. In Jesus' name, Amen.
