This morning I had in my mind the image of a mother hen protecting her chicks. (Or a mother bird.) Even when danger is far away and the babies cannot see it, she would sense it and ready herself to confront and chase the danger away.

Like the chicks, I frequently has no inkling when danger approaches me. But God knows and confronts it away. Sometimes I would notice the danger missing me after the fact. Other times not; I would be oblivious.

God is always there.

"
He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
"

~ Psalm 91.4 NLT
