上帝的保護

經文: ��「雀鳥怎樣搧翅覆雛，萬軍之耶和華也要照樣保護耶路撒冷。」（以賽亞書卅一︰5）'U�Z�

幼雛有危險時，母鳥總是振翅俯衝，及時援救；母鳥覓食時，想到敖敖待哺的幼雛，總是迫不及待地全速飛回鳥巢。上帝對祂的百姓也是如此，祂必垂聽百姓的呼求，一刻也不躭擱，只是祂不是乘著鷹翅，而是駕馭著風的翅膀。�

母鳥張開翅膀，褓抱著巢中的幼雛，它甘冒自己的身體暴露在外的危險，也要捨身保護幼鳥的安全。耶和華上帝也是如此，是祂選民的避難所、堅固台，上帝的子女可在祂溫暖的懷中安然居住。�

當母鳥振翅飛翔時，同時也在保護幼雛，上帝也是如此，而且祂絕不會失敗，因為祂是全地的主，祂必能保護我們安全，保守我們免於各樣罪惡。讓這應許成為我們的安慰，因為全能者的大愛覆蔽著我們，祂的雙臂比鳥的雙翅來得更溫柔、更有力，我們只管把自己藏在上帝的蔭蔽下，直到永遠。�


Defended and Covered

Scripture: "As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem" (Isaiah 31:5).

With hurrying wing the mother bird hastens up to the protection of her young. She wastes no time upon the road when coming to supply them with food or guard them from danger. Thus as on eagle's wings will the LORD come for the defense of His chosen; yea, He will ride upon the wings of the wind.

With outspread wing the mother covers her little ones in the nest. She hides them away by interposing her own body. The hen yields her own warmth to her chicks and makes her wings a house, in which they dwell at home. Thus doth Jehovah Himself become the protection of His elect. He Himself is their refuge, their abode, their all.

As birds flying and birds covering (for the word means both), so will the LORD be unto us: and this He will be repeatedly and successfully. We shall be defended and preserved from all evil: the LORD who likens Himself to birds will not be like them in their feebleness, for He is Jehovah of hosts. Let this be our comfort, that almighty love will be swift to succor and sure to cover. The wing of God is more quick and more tender than the wing of a bird, and we will put our trust under its shadow henceforth and forever.
