"How priceless is your unfailing love. Both high and low among men
find refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of
your house; you give them drink from your river of delights."
- Psalm 36:5-10 (7,8)
In contrast to evil people and their wicked plots that end in failure,
God is faithful, righteous, and just. His love reaches to the heavens;
His faithfulness reaches to the skies; His righteousness is as solid as
mighty mountains; and His judgments are as full of wisdom as the oceans
with water (the great deep). We need not fear evil people because we
know God loves us, judges evil, and will care for us throughout

This vivid image, fountain of life, gives us a sense of fresh, cleansing water that gives life to the spiritually thirsty. This same picture is used in Jer. 2:13, where God is called the spring of living water. Jesus spoke of Himself as living water that cold quench thirst forever and give eternal life. John 4:14.
Under His wings, Oh, what precious enjoyment
There will I hide till life's trials are over;
Sheltered, protected, no evil can harm me,
Resting in Jesus, I'm safe evermore.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - For the Christians, dark clouds of trouble are but the shadow of God's wing.
