The Shelter of Your Wings

TOPIC - The Shelter of Your Wings

BIBLE TEXT - Psalm 61:1-4 KJV

Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. [2] From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. [3] For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. [4] I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

In contrast to yesterday’s verses from Luke 2:36-38, this psalm was not penned by someone in the safety and comfort of the temple’s walls but by one who was surrounded by his enemies or perhaps even imprisoned in the midst of a war. As he longs to escape to the rocky wilderness, he feels overwhelmed and weak. But instead of focusing on his inadequacy and spiraling into despair, he focuses on God, cries out to him, and finds strength in who the Lord is—his refuge, his fortress, his towering rock of safety.

But the psalmist didn’t seek God’s protection and presence only for that particular time. He yearned for the day he would live safely under the shadow of God’s wings forever.

Are you overwhelmed today? Do you feel inadequate or weary? Look to God, your towering rock of safety, for help. He has promised never to fail you or forsake you. Read Psalm 61 aloud as your expression of love and worship today.

KNOW_THIS:

We are safe in Yahweh's keeping, Safe in temptation’s hour. Safe in the midst of perils, Kept by almighty power. Safe when the tempest rages, Safe though the night be long; Even when our sky is darkest God is our strength and our song.

PRAYER

LORD, I cry to you for help, for you are my refuge. Even though my heart feels overwhelmed, you alone can lead me to your towering rock of safety. You are my fortress, Lord, and my enemies scatter in your presence. I long to dwell with you forever and to rest beneath the shelter of your wings. Thank you for providing such a safe place for me to live—in your presence.

INSIGHT

Why not turn to Jesus Christ and seek more of Him today.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

THE GRACE OF GOD

Date 📅 26th October, 2022 Topic The Grace of God Living Scripture 1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. The grace of God is very important to everyone both saved and unsaved though as many as believe in Christ Jesus receives of the grace and truth at work in the Lord. This is what sustains us as children of God throughout our lifetime here on earth. God's grace for the world is general but limited and that for His children comes only in Christ Jesus, for as many that want to partake of this kind of grace must be born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit. This brought about the testimony of brother Saul turned Apostle Paul who testified to be the least of all the Apostles and disciples of Christ. He was a persecutor of the gospel a child of Abraham under the common grace but not under the g...
