Everyone enjoys a good blanket. I don't know of many people who don't look forward to curling up in their blanket as the evening comes to a close. Some of you might even still use the blanket you had as a child, and you look to Linus from Charlie Brown as a modern day hero. When you jump into bed your normal first reaction is to take your blanket and completely wrap yourself in the blanket. The blanket is covering every inch of your body as you lay there, rested and comfortable. With that image in mind read this verse:
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night,nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
Psalms 91:4-6
God is always there covering you completely. Anything that happens in your life, good or bad, has to pass through God. It happens because God allows it to happen. You might be asking, "Does this mean God does bad things to me?" No, it means God allows those things, but as Paul says in 1 Corinthians God will not let anything happen to you that you cannot withstand through him. Be glad! God is in complete control over what happens to you! He spreads his wings over you, he wraps you in His love like a blanket does and completely surrounds you. There is nothing you have to fear because God is working for you! (Romans 8:31).
