Scripture of the Day
Psalm 36:7 (NIV)
“Beneath HIS Wings”
How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
When baby chicks hear a loud noise, they run under the wings of their mother! If the mother chicken (hen) senses danger, she will spread her wings and all of her chicks will find refuge . . . in the shadow of her wings. When the baby chicks are frighten or confused, they don’t grab a self-help book! They run to the one safe place they can always rely on! In obedience . . . the mother does not have to chase after the baby chicks to protect them! The babies know to run under the shadow of protection!
When we, GOD’s babies, sense trouble, we can find refuge beneath HIS wings! When GOD calls you under HIS wings, don’t go looking elsewhere for protection . . . run to the place of refuge that is never failing! You don’t need self-help books or some trinket around your neck to provide protection . . . just place your eyes on GOD, for his unfailing love will give you a place of refuge . . . beneath HIS Wings! Imagine standing under HIS wings and looking out into the world! Can you see all the things HE has protected you from!
Beneath HIS wings you can see the dangers that were before you, but HIS refuge is also protecting you from the dangers you cannot see! O LORD, thank YOU for protecting us from dangers seen and unseen, as we rest Beneath YOUR Wings!

Many years ago, I found myself faced with having to tell someone very dear to me a deep secret about my past and I knew that it was highly possible that it would ruin any chances we may have had to have a future together. I tried everything within my power to come up with an excuse of not tell the individual...afterall it happened before I knew them. God kept impressing upon my heart that I needed to share this information so that there would be no dark places in our relationship (secrets). You see, those dark places are where satan loves to dwell and reap havoc in our lives. He will try to convince you that your secret is safe with him, all the while planning to expose you at the most inopportune time. As I was going "through" my faith strengthening ordeal, God kept telling me "Beneath His wings, love abides". I did tell my friend/husband the long kept secret and we did go through, but we went through together. I did find love and comfort beneath the wings of my Heavenly Father from that time since!! Our relationship was not destroyed but made complete because there was no longer anything standing in the way of us truely becoming one flesh, wrapped in the arms of GOD. Praise Him for His faithfulness.
1 Peter 4:8 says, "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."
It seems that you deeply love GOD and your friend/husband. And because you shared this secret with him out of love and respect . . . you both were covered beneath HIS wings!
Satan will try to keep a stronghold on you with the shadow of secrets! As my wife always says, "No one can blackmail me, because I am going to tell on myself!" You shared the secret to tear down barriers and build a relationship. GOD will always cover that! Your husband is blessed to have someone love him enough to risk it all! May you and your husband rejoice in GOD's Love!
