<\/a>Proverbs 3:5-6<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I once read about a forest service worker who was walking through an area that had just been ravaged by a forest fire. He saw a strange mound and stopped to check it out. To his astonishment it was a mother bird that had been killed by the fire. As he knelt to examine the bird, he heard a “peep” from under the pile of ashes. When he turned the bird over he found several chicks.<\/p>\n

Instead of flying to save herself, the mother had sacrificed herself in order to protect her brood from the fire that was sweeping toward them. That is what Jesus has done for us. He wants to shelter us under His wings from the firestorm of life.<\/p>\n

In 1896, William Cushing wrote the words and Ira Sankey composed the music to the hymn, “Under His Wings,” this week’s featured hymn from GloryScapes.<\/p>\n

“Under His Wings<\/a>“<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Under His wings I am safely abiding,
\nThough the night deepens and tempests are wild,
\nStill I can trust Him; I know He will keep me,
\nHe has redeemed me, and I am His child.<\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain:<\/strong> Under His wings, under His wings,
\nWho from His love can sever?
\nUnder His wings my soul shall abide,
\nSafely abide forever.<\/em><\/p>\n

Under His wings, what a refuge in sorrow!
\nHow the heart yearningly turns to His rest!
\nOften when earth has no balm for my healing,
\nThere I find comfort, and there I am blessed.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Refrain:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Under His wings, oh, what precious enjoyment!
\nThere will I hide till life’s trials are o’er;
\nSheltered, protected, no evil can harm me,
\nResting in Jesus, I\u2019m safe evermore.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Refrain:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
