Under His Wings

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

He will cover you with his feathers and under his wings you will find refuge. (Psalm 91:4, NIV)

Momma-Hen

These chicks are very beautiful, adorable, cute, and vulnerable. They aren’t safe because there are many dangerous creatures who want them for lunch.

The mother desires to keep them safe but she can only do that when they remain within her enclave, and of course her safest bet is under her wings; there, she can protect them under favourable temperature.

The psalmist talks about how God covers His children with His feathers. He does that because He knows the devil flies around like the hawk seeking for someone to devour. His purpose is to Steal, Kill, and Destroy. But if you remain under your Father’s wings, you will be safe.

Where are you now? Are you under your Father’s wings?

The world may offer many things it calls fun but they are baits to draw you away from your Father.

Think about this;

When there is an attack, or storm, or tsunami, or earthquake, or anything you could imagine in our cities, we are told to stay home right? Why?

Because Home is Safe.

God protects His children 24/7. The Scripture says that He never sleeps nor slumbers so when you stay close to Him, He guides and keeps you safe.

Today if the world has caught your attention with its baits, remember that HOME IS SAFE. The closer you remain, the safer you become.

Is the Lord’s Hand waxed short?

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

“Is the Lord’s hand waxed short?”

 

“We answer there is but one creature that God has made that ever doubts Him! The little sparrows doubt not—though they have no barn nor field, yet they sweetly sing at night as they go to their roosts, though they know not where tomorrow’s meal shall be found. The very cattle trust Him, and even in days of drought, you have seen them when they pant for thirst, how they expect the water—how the very first token of it makes them show in their very animal frame, by some dumb language, that they felt that God would not leave them to perish! The angels never doubt Him, nor the devils either—devils believe and tremble! But it was left for man—the most favored of all creatures—to mistrust his God! This high, this black, this infamous sin of doubting the power and faith- fulness of Jehovah was reserved for the fallen race of rebellions Adam! And we alone, out of all the beings that God has ever fashioned, dishonor Him by unbelief, and tarnish His honor by mistrust!”
–Charles Spurgeon

How would your answer be considering your present circumstance(s)?

Is anything worth than your soul?

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Mark 8:36, 37 KJV)

Everyone wants to be successful in life. We want to live in mansions, have prosperous businesses, build healthy families, and have the resources to afford what makes life comfortable.  However, as Christians, our priorities must not be on things of this world. The rich man in Luke 16 had everything yet He lost his soul.

Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls. (1 Peter 2:11)

“Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.”(Matthew 6:20 NLT)

Money is good but is it worth more than your soul?

Charles Spurgeon once said “Consider how precious a soul must be, when both God and the devil are after it.”

I would encourage you to examine your life today as you answer this question;

Is anything worth than your Soul?

What shall it profit you, if you shall gain the whole world, and lose your own soul? or what shall you give in exchange for your soul? Naked you came to the womb, and it is certain that you will leave naked.

God bless you!
