Under Wing

The Secret Place

By William M. Self, Sr.

 

 

When The Most High takes you under wing 

He teaches you Truth and Faithfulness

So you can fly

Psalms 91:4 AMP

Under Wing

Have you ever stopped to think how valuable
 it is for people to take someone under wing?

I am convinced that life cannot

 exist without this kind of help.

For the weak and inexperienced this is huge.

Children are weak and inexperienced and when

a teacher or adult takes them under wing it can

make a big difference in their success later in life.

You can probably think of several

 people who took you under wing.

You stayed under wing for short times

with some and longer times with others.

But there were those who took

 interest and believed in you.

As we grow up and learn to handle life on our own,

 it still becomes a blessing when someone takes us

 under wing and helps us through troubled waters.

 

 

  

These are the feathers of the wing…

Assure, care for, conserve, cover, cushion, defend,

isolate, keep, look after, preserve, safeguard, save,

secure, shelter, shield, support, bulwark, champion,

chaperon, fend, foster, harbor, hedge, screen, shade,

stonewall, watch, cover all bases, cover up, give

refuge, give sanctuary, go to bat for, keep safe, ride

shot gun for, sentinel, shotgun, stand guard, watch over.

These feathers may be light and gentle,

but they are very strong and impacting.

God, the Most High, the Almighty

 covers those who trust in Him.

The Amplified says… He covers us with His Pinions.

Pinions are the outer part of a bird’s

wing, including the flight feathers.

A reminder that the covering we receive is

to enable us to fly higher and stronger.

It is under His wings we learn

about Truth and Faithfulness.

These two elements are key to flying on our own.

God’s Word tells us… The truth will set us free.

It is the righteousness of God that

 reaches above the heavens. Psalm 108:4,5

Remember that when you are taken

under wing it is to enable you to fly.

 

Scripture Reading

Psalm 91:1-4 AMP

1 HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High

shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of

the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].

2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress,

 my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!

3 For [then] He will deliver you from the snare

of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

4 [Then] He will cover you with His pinions,

and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge;

His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler.
