Life’s Puddles of Water and an Umbrella
Read: Psalm 91
“The Lord will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge.”
Psalm 91:4
As we walk in the rain in the spring, we carry an umbrella to protect us from getting wet. Sometimes because of rain there are ‘puddles’ of water which we must step in or jump over. If we have no feet protection we get wet. In life we encounter ‘puddles’ of water over which we must jump. Even if we have an umbrella, we will still experience wet feet.
These ‘puddles’ sometimes are sickness, loss of a job, loss of a beloved one, depression, difficult decisions or any array of challenges which life brings. Isn’t it comforting to know that the Lord covers us and protects from all troubles and is there covering us with His wings of refuge! Even though our path might be an obstacle course, His wings protect us and His presence guides us.
Prayer: Dear Lord we ask you to protect, protect and guide us through the ‘puddles’ of life with your wings of refuge. We find comfort in knowing that you know our needs before we do.
Amen
