GATHERED UNDER HIS WINGS : Daily Devotional

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate.” - Luke 13:34–35

A beautiful picture is hidden in Psalm 91:4. A photo of a mother hen protecting her chicks. The scriptures quoted above record how the Lord Jesus wept over Jerusalem. Later, while mourning Jerusalem, Jesus said: They will not leave a stone in you, because you do not know when you will visit” (Luke 19:43-44). The Greek word for “weep” in verse 41, klayo, means to move emotionally enough to weep and weep.

Do you see the merciful mercy of the Lord toward Israel when many tears are shed for Israel? He wanted him to gather Israel under his feathers as a hen gathers her chicks under his wings, but Jehovah could not protect them because they rejected him. I believe that when our Lord wept, he not only foresaw the Roman siege of Jerusalem, the temple burned, and many Jews killed or sold into slavery, but also the horrors of the Holocaust.

Notice what the Lord said, "But you did not want it!" This makes it clear that the Lord will not protect us if we do not want to be under His wings.

Beloved, are you ready for the Lord Jesus to protect you and your family today? Then tell him. Let us not take the protection of our Lord for granted. Instead, let us set aside time each day to let him know that we trust him for his protection and protection.

Do you want to know what happens when you do this? Consider what Boaz said to Ruth. Wow! It was already a privilege for these exiled Moabites, disqualified by the law, to take refuge under the wings of the God of Israel. But God even gave her her reward.

Likewise, it is our privilege to seek refuge under His wings. But when we tell the Lord we need Him and we need His refuge, He trusts Him and gives the full reward for coming under His wings. Oh, God!
