Cover Upper

"He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness will be a protective shield." (Psalm 91:4)

On Saturday at the cabin, when babygrand's bib fell to the floor, his three-year-old cousin picked it up and said, "Here's your cover upper."

In Psalm 91, the psalmist encourages readers to find their refuge in God. The Moody Bible Commentary describes God's protection in verse four as gentle and warm like a mother bird sheltering her young. Jesus used the same imagery in Matthew 23:37 when He cried, "Jerusalem, Jerusalem! She 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 chicks under her wings, yet you were not willing!"

Beloved, today, live under the protection of the Most High and dwell in the shadow of the Almighty—your Cover Upper.
