Feathers

Have you ever seen a mother hen take care of her "chicks" when danger comes? She spreads out her wings, covers the "chicks" and pulls them close to her. Not only does she protect them, she hides them from danger. Psalm 91:4, "HE shall cover you with HIS feathers and under HIS wings shall you trust..." True Story! This homeless woman was surrounded by some men who decided to hurt and rob her. This is the same woman who had slept in a church cellar the night before and heard a sermon on how GOD protects us with HIS feathers. As the men approached, all she could remember was FEATHERS! She began to shout, "IN THE NAME OF JESUS...FEATHERS!" She kept repeating this, the men dropped their weapons (and other intentions) and fled, never to be seen again! The homeless lady may not have gotten the Scripture 'word perfect' but GOD knew what she meant. Do we today, know someone who needs healing, strength, encouragement, a smile and a BIG LOVING HUG? Trust, yes, the Scripture says TRUST GOD. Maybe your prayer for them will begin with a smile as you think of FEATHERS.
