Strength Under His Wings

There are days when faith must become shelter, when belief is not loud praise but quiet staying. Scripture reminds us that strength is not something we manufacture it is something we receive. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Not because the road is easy. Not because fear never knocks. But because Christ stands within us, steady and unmovable, pouring courage where our hands feel empty.

Psalm 91 opens a sacred doorway: Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. To dwell is to remain. To stay. To choose God not only in crisis, but as home. Here, the Lord is called refuge and fortress a safe place with walls of faithfulness. Under His wings, the soul finds rest. Night terrors lose their voice. Arrows flying by day miss their mark. Even when danger passes close, it does not claim what God is guarding. Angels are commanded. Hands are lifted. Feet are kept from stumbling stones. This is not the promise of a trouble-free life, but the assurance of a never-absent God. And God Himself speaks: Because you love Me, I will rescue you. When you call, I will answer. I will be with you in trouble.

That is where the two scriptures meet strength and shelter, power and presence. We endure not by our own might, but because we are coverd. We press forward not because we are fearless, but because we are held. To live this truth is to wake each day knowing: I am strengthened by Christ, and I am resting under the wings of the Almighty.
