Exodus 33:1-34:3; Psalms 83:1-84:12; Acts 20:1-16
Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. Psalm 57:1
“Under the shadow of thy wings” is a repeated metaphor relating to the protective covering that a mother bird gives to her young. Throughout life, we are “under the shadow of His wings”. There is no better place, for He is our Protector; our Refuge and our Fortress, (Ps. 91:1). Under His wings, every need is met; every satisfaction is found. —Jim Comte
Under His wings I am safely abiding,
Though the night deepens and tempests are wild,
Still I can trust Him; I know He will keep me,
He has redeemed me, and I am His child. —William O. Cushing
