One night in California, during a violent storm, I looked out my window, and spotted beneath a hedge, a picture of absolute peace. In spite of gale winds that were bending seemingly indomitable trees, and flashes of lightning illuminating the sky and heralding deafening thunder - there was a mother bird with her wings outstretched, sheltering her contented, sleeping baby.It was a moment that brought back the words from Psalsm 61:4 from the Living Bible "...Oh, to be safe beneath the shelter of Your wings!" Personal storms often come into our lives - unannounced, uninvited. We are confronted with devastating changes that rock the security we have taken for granted. They come in many forms - through severe illness, bereavement, a loved one who has caused great heartache, etc. For such time our Lord has promised to be with us, giving strength and comfort for all our needs. We can know the shelter of His wings and live in peace and security.- from the Introduction - from Amzon
