"He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." Psalm 91:4
She had stopped at a red light. Before she even realized the car door had opened, a man had a gun stuck in her side. He demanded, "Lady, just drive. Don't do anything dumb!"
she had just heard a message on Psalm 91. This psalm told her that god was her refuge, that He was her fortress, that He would deliver her from the snare of the flower, that He covered her with His feathers, that He was her shield and rampart. But in this instant, with a gun in her side and her mind in a whirl, she could not think of the exact words of the Scripture.
In desperation, all she could come up with and exclaim was, "Feathers! Feathers! Feathers!"
the hijacker panicked. He shouted, "Lady, you are crazy!" And as quick as he has appeared, he disappeared!
Oh, how precious to know that when we can't think of a promise word for word, or when we don't have time to quote a promise for the situation in which we find ourselves, God knows His promises and He knows our heart.
