Covered by His Wings

✨ 2025 Sunday Theme: Trust

📖 Scripture

Psalm 91:4 (NIV)
“He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.”

📚 Background

Psalm 91 is a psalm of protection and assurance, often called the “soldier’s psalm” because of its promises of safety under God’s care. Verse 4 uses tender imagery of a mother bird sheltering her young beneath her wings, symbolizing God’s protective love and faithfulness. It reminds us that trust in Him is not passive—it is resting in His covering, confident that His faithfulness is our shield.

💬 Devotional

A close friend once shared how, during a season of uncertainty, she would picture herself “tucked under God’s wings.” She said, “It gave me peace to imagine His presence covering me when I couldn’t see the way forward.”

Psalm 91:4 invites us into that same picture. God’s wings are not fragile—they are strong, protective, and faithful. Trusting Him means choosing to rest in His covering, even when life feels unpredictable. His faithfulness is not just a promise—it is a shield that guards us from fear and doubt.

On our journey of trust in 2025, this verse reminds us that we are never exposed or alone. We are sheltered, covered, and held by the One who is always faithful.
