God Fights for Us Today's Devotional Read: Psalm 91:1–10 Bible in a Year: Esther 3–5; Acts 5:22–42 [God] 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 A Colorado mother proved she would stop at nothing to protect her . Her five-year-old was playing outside when she heard him screaming. She rushed outside and, to her horror, saw that her had an unexpected “playmate”—a mountain lion. The large cat was on top of her , with his head in its mouth. The mother summoned her inner mamma grizzly to fight off the lion and pry open its jaws to rescue her . This mother’s heroic actions remind us of how motherhood is used in Scripture to illustrate God’s tenacious love and protection for His . God tenderly cared for and comforted His people as a mother eagle cares for her young (Deuteronomy 32:10–11; Isaiah 66:13). Also, like a mother who could never forget a nursing with whom she had built an inseparable bond, God would never forget His people nor forever withhold compassion from them (Isaiah 54.7–8. Finally, like a mother bird offering protective cover under her wings for baby birds, God would “cover [His people] with his feathers” and “his faithfulness [would] be [their] shield and rampart” (Psalm 91:4). Sometimes we feel alone, forgotten, and trapped in the grip of all kinds of spiritual predators. May God help us remember that He compassionately cares, comforts, and fights for us. How have you seen the image of God as a parent illustrated in your life? In what ways have you experienced His care, comfort, and protection? Heavenly Father, as baby birds find protection under their mother’s wings, may I find refuge under the shield of Your faithfulness.
