Have you even wondered how ducks stay dry?
"If you can watch some ducks for a while you might notice that they spend a lot of time nibbling their feathers with their beaks. This is called preening. While the duck is preening she is spreading oil all over her top layer of feathers. The oil comes from a special place near her tail called a gland and when she spreads the oil over her feathers it makes her feathers waterproof. The water can’t get through the first layer of oily feathers and so all of her feathers underneath stay dry and fluffy and keep her warm all over." (From Garth and Bev's website) |
| Swans and geese keep dry under their feathers in the same way.
As my granddaughter and I were talking about this yesterday,
I suddenly realized that God wants to take care of us in a similar way!
"He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge."
He doesn't take us out of the water
(the storms or challenges in our lives),
but He keeps us "dry" and out of danger
by giving us refuge "under His wings"!
