The terror by night.
“He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. You will not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day.” — Psalm 91:4-5 (WEB)
The image is maternal. Feathers. Wings. Covering. It’s a bird sheltering its young — and the instinct isn’t strategy. It’s love. The mother bird doesn’t analyze the threat. She covers. Immediately. Completely. Without waiting for the chick to ask.
These live among our psalms for scared hearts — one psalm, one honest echo, every morning.
Quietly with you,
