Under His Wings...

Ezekiel 1:8 - And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.

2 Chronicles 3:12 - And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.

Psalms 17:8 - Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings

Exodus 37:9 - And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.

Deuteronomy 32:11 - As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings

Exodus 19:4 - Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.

Psalms 63:7 - Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

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.

Isaiah 6:2 - Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

As you can see there are many different types of things that are under God’s wings. All of the things that God places under His wings are protected.

God uses His angels as His wings in a lot of cases. Some of these angels have more than two wings, just think about it; an angel with 6 wings! Some may have two, some four, and others may fly with no wings at all. There may be even some who have more than six wings!

There are several things that angels use their wings for; they cover their faces with their wings when they speak the name of God. They also cover their wings over us to shield us and to protect us. They also spread their wings over the Ark of the Covenant to protect it, and they spread their wings over the throne room of God.

We can know that God’s wings are always going to be there for us to protect us and to keep us from falling. His wings are above and below us. The ones below us are there to keep us from falling and if we do fall to catch us when it happens.

Maybe in a way God is telling us to throw ourselves off of faith’s cliff and trust fully and to rely fully on Him, and when we do throw ourselves we will find that His wings are right there under and over us to keep us going!

I think that it is amazing how God loves us so much that He spreads His wings not only above or below us but surrounds us with His wings! Sometimes we hit storms in our lives and we are not sure if God is there. But if we really think about it, it is God’s wings that keeps the brunt of the storm out and keeps us safe and sheltered within.

I always want God’s wings of protection to be around me, don’t you?
