This year has been incredibly hard for many families, mine included. My trouble pales when I see the trouble that the whole world is in. I struggle to find words of comfort for so many situations.
No words come. When there is no answer to trouble the only thing we can do is turn to the God who made us. Cling to Him with all we have and look forward to a better time, a better place.
I ran across a song recently that was sung in English and Arabic. The phrase that was repeated again and again was “in the shadow of your wings.” I found that phrase in the following Bible verses. Psalm 17:8; Psalm 36:7; Psalm 57:1; Psalm 63:7 – Take some time and look them up.
Here are the words to the song with a recording below. I pray it brings you comfort no matter what trouble you are facing.
In the Shadow of Your Wings – Cathy Spurr/ Debbie McNeil
I will dwell in the shadow of your wings.
I will know of the peace your love can bring.
Night will fall but I will not be afraid
When I dwell in the shadow of your wings.
In the shadow, in the shadow, in the shadow of your wings. (x2)
Safety lies in the shadow of your wings.
I rely on your faithful covering.
Arrows fly but I will not be afraid
When I dwell in the shadow of your wings.
Beautiful, Karen.
And uplifting.
it reminds me of one of my favourite hymns, and the line in the chorus “And he shall raise me up on eagles’ wings…”
I’m thinking of you and your family and saying a prayer for you all.

Thank you, Cynthia. I find it hard to write these days…but thankfully we have a God who has written much. Mother Theresa used to say…”We are pencils in the hands of a writing God.” I think of you often and pray for your family as well.
