A LITTLE BIT OF SHADE
By Sally I Kennedy
August 6, 2010
The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right
hand Psalm 121:5
How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men
take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. Psalm 36: 7
Sometimes our summers (and falls!) are cookers. I have always been
impressed by the difference just a little bit of shade makes. In the
heat of the day, simply moving under a tree instantly creates a more
comfortable feeling. There's less glare; it feels cooler.
There are many references in the Bible about being, hiding, and taking
refuge under the 'shadow' of His wings. Several times I have have
pondered what that means. One thing for sure is that a shadow, of a
tree for example, provides shade. During times of intense heat
(trouble), the shadow (shade) carries relief. It provides a respite.
I love all the Psalms, and chapter 121 is no exception. In verse 5 it
says, "The Lord watches over you, the Lord is your shade at your right
hand."
What better place to catch our breath than in the shadow of God, or in
the shadow of His wings? We can cool off, regather our wits, and get
back out there.
Sometimes it's good to remember that a bit of shade is just the
ticket, especially when the shade is from the shadow of our Heavenly
Father.
