Psalm 17:8b
Wings? God has wings? How do you know that? What do you mean?
Why would I want to be "under His wings"? He is talking to us about a refuge that is available for us. What is a refuge? A place of safety. A protected shelter. Imagine it--don't ask questions--don't build barriers--just accept what He says and try to grasp truth from His words.
Ps. 57:1b And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge
Ps. 63:7b In the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy
Luke 13:34 How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not have it!
I guess our problem is uncovered in this reference from Luke--you would not You have to say, "Lord, I want to be under Your wings." Then close your eyes and believe! Yes, it's difficult to see, but you are comfortable and relaxed and it is so wonderful to know that you are protected and cherished.

About this Plan
Has your faith become more of a burden than a source of joy and rest? The Christian life is not difficult to live. It's impossible to live! God never intended for you to live it. Jesus Christ is the only one who who has ever successfully lived the Christian life, and His plan is to live it through you. We expend so much energy spinning our wheels, trying to live for God instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to live through us. In this deeply personal, encouraging devotional plan, Anabel Gillham comes alongside you to teach you how to allow Christ to express His overcoming life through you on a moment-by-moment basis. It will remind you of who you are in Christ. It will open the floodgates of God's grace, guiding you to experience true rest and freedom in the midst of the storms of life.
