”Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.“

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭57‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

”He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.“

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭4‬ ‭

“From the days of the wilderness wanderings, the people of God have taken refuge under His wings: “He found them in a desert land, in an empty, howling wasteland. He surrounded them and watched over them. . . . Like an eagle that rouses her chicks and hovers over her young, so he spread his wings to take them up and carried them safely on his pinions. The LORD alone guided them” (Deuteronomy 32:10–12, NLT). Whenever the children of Israel needed help, they prayed, “Hide me under the shadow of your wings” (Psalm 17:8). And now, because of Jesus Christ’s redeeming sacrifice, we can forever abide under His wings in the protected shelter of His presence.”

Psalms 91 was read daily by my mother. She believed in the protection of God. He was her hiding place when the dismal days raising ten siblings became overwhelming.   I was given a book to read by an friend of mine entitled “If 7:14 ..An Urgent Call for Revival…It’s Time by Bob Vanderbilt Plaats to read.  Last night I had a dream about this book;  when I awakened the first thing I wanted to do was pick this book up and read it.  Yes, the words reflected my mother’s words so many years ago….””if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.“II Chronicles‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.  My mother would add her take as an addendum to this scripture with  “If you take God out of your Country, it will fall”.   Watching the News now, and all the horrendous happenings going on, I pray for our Country, and I pray 2 Chronicles 7:14 for a revival to awaken the hearts of mankind, and return back to God before it’s too late.
