Yes/ Last year or so, I had 13 chicks. Of course, without the mother chicken...but after one night some chicks are gone. The next day was the same. Did you think a swallow/or a cat infiltrated? No matter how you look at it, there was nothing wrong with the wire mesh. Eventually, all the chicks were gone. It turned out that rats had penetrated the ground through feed bins and cages in the chick cage and caught the chicks every night. "You're a rat-like bastard."
- Had they been protected under the wings of a mother chicken - 13 chicks would not have suffered such a death. Therefore, young chicks absolutely need the protection of the mother chicken. So how are you protected? under the wings of the mother chicken. Under the wings of the mother chickens are the best and safest place for the young chicks. When attacked by natural enemies or when the cold strikes, young chicks are safe under the wing of the mother chicken. So how do chicks get protection under the wings of their mother chickens? It is not difficult. avoid it The best way for the chicks to be protected is to evade under the wings of the mother chicken.
Yes/ I was young. It was a spring day, and the chicks were playing with the mother chicken in the field in search of food. Then suddenly a hawk appeared in the air. Then, the mother chicken shrieked a "cuck" sound to signal the crisis, and the chicks quickly took refuge under the mother chicken's wings. It was momentary. The chicks were able to survive the hawk attack by fleeing into the mother's arms. The danger had ended.
In today's text, the psalmist compares God's bosom to "under his wings" and tells the Lord to "flee under his wings." And under the wings of the Lord, he confesses, "My refuge, my fortress." Psalm 17:8 says, “You hide me under the shadow of your wings.” No. 432 Hymnwriter C.D. Martin said, "Stay under the wings of the Lord, and the Lord will keep you."
Why should we flee under the wings of the Lord?
1) Because the wings of the Lord are the wings of the Almighty.
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) The psalmist praised God the Creator, saying, “I see the great heavens that the Lord has made by hand, and the moon and stars that the Lord Himself has set.” Also, God said through the Apostle John, "All things were created through him, and without him nothing was created." The Lord God is the Almighty who created the universe and the world. The bosom of the Lord His wings are almighty.
Therefore, the angel who appeared to Mary testified, "Nothing is impossible with God." Therefore, the wings of the Lord are the “wings of the Almighty,” so you must flee with them. Please believe.
2) Because the wings of the Lord are eternal wings.
Isaiah 40:28 says, “The Lord is the everlasting God.” “He who has no beginning and no end.” “From eternity to eternity.” “He is the Lord we serve and the Father of those who believe. The God who sits on the heavenly throne revealed in the Book of Revelation is said to be “the One who lives forever and ever.” In Daniel 4, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylonia, realized the will and providence of God that had been done to him, and said, "He praised and gave glory to the Eternal One." Eternity belongs to God, and God is the Lord of eternity. When you take refuge under the wings of the Lord, who is the subject of eternity, you can receive a guarantee of safety. please believe
