The glory of God · Loving kindness and mercy
Young birds sheltered beneath wings picture the Saviour’s tenderness and trustworthiness. Psalm 91 joins wings, refuge and God’s faithfulness; Jesus’ gathering of children likewise expresses his tender care. Night, storms and sorrow remain in the song, making rest a genuine reliance on the Lord. Those wounded or afraid can entrust themselves to him and allow their hearts to quieten gradually. During shared singing on visits, leave ample space for grieving people to speak and express Christ’s care through practical companionship, making sung security and belonging experienced comfort.
