The words to the fifty-seventh psalm were the fruit of his hiding. He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. A little frightened, my boy stood under my arm as close to me as he could get. There, next to me, he felt safe and secure, knowing I would protect him. It seems only natural, when faced with danger or a bad situation, to run to someone who is larger.
Little girls run to mommy or daddy when they scrape their knee.
Even in nature, baby animals will keep close to their parents to avoid danger. Baby chicks will hide under their mother's wings until the storm passes. Parents love it when their children come to them in times of trouble. God loves it too. So the next time you are overwhelmed with a bad situation, run and hide under the shadow of God's wings.
