What if we could escape the stress of the day and could be protected from all harm, kinda like on the wings of an Angel

or on the wings of a snow white Dove? We would be carried away from harm and the stress that this world so often brings, and just think about how much peace and security that would bring to us!
It reminds me of the scripture below:
Psalm 55:6
King James Version (KJV)
6And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
But then I thought about being vulnerable to prey and exposed to harm if we were openly rising on the wings of an Angel or a snow white Dove. As I thought for a minute, I changed my mind and decided I wanted to be not "ON THE WINGS", but, "UNDER THE WINGS"!
I took a few minutes and looked out across the farm and as I noticed a beautiful Robin with her 3 babies in a nest not too far from where I was standing. I noticed the closer I got to the nest, the more the mother bird spread her wings over the babies and pulled them in near to her side,to protect her babies and not let any harm come to them. I assured the mother bird I would not harm her or the babies, for God was just teaching me a lesson and I had to learn it from her actions!
Many days this week, stress seemed to come at me from all directions- physically, emotionally, financially, and spiritually. I mention spiritually for we are in a spiritual battle constantly against evil (more about that on another post). When stress hits me, it usually comes to me physically- neck and shoulder muscles begin to knot up causing massive headaches, emotionally- by seeing others hurt and not treated right hurts me emotionally, financially- the burden of the rising cost of living in a very weak economy. All this seems to compound into a tense, exhausted, stress-laden body that is not meant to be this burdened. I thought many times this week of the commercial "Calgon take me away!", where the woman finds respite through a calming and relaxing bubble bath! However, even when she is through with that bubble bath,
she walks out the bathroom door and stress is their waiting to greet her, so I thought how nice it would be to just ride on the wings of an Angel or of a Dove and refresh our minds and hearts just for a few minutes before being dropped back into this rat race called life. My newly learned lesson from the Robin and her babies was God's way of speaking to me today.
I now wanted to be UNDER THE WINGS and not just any wings, but UNDER HIS WINGS! Under God's Wings! For only when I run to Him and get under His wings will I find true shelter, peace and rest. God reminds us to run to Him and He will give us shelter, rest and peace: Psalms 91:4-
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
The strength that I could receive under His wings would be a feeling of love, patience, security, and peace from the stress of the world. He would allow me to leave the stress with Him so we may have rest within our mind and heart. As the Lord would spread His wings and gather me in from the stress of the world, I will be renewed and reminded of His truths and promises.
He will be "my calgon" but when the stress reappears, I will have a
renewed outlook, peace in my mind, heart and soul and will claim God's promises!
As you go about the day, think of what stressor you could leave......under HIS wings!
Be Blessed!
