《诗篇》九十一篇向我们显明，“全能者”神的形象并不是恐怖可怕或令人惊骇的。相反，神十分温柔和关心每一个人，人们都可以到祂那里寻求庇护，就像小鸡在母鸡的护庇下一样。

作为神的子民，我们可以完全信靠神，因为祂会围绕我们，保护我们免受危险的惊吓，并拯救我们脱离凶恶。

安息在神庇护的翅膀荫下，意味着我们不需要害怕周遭混乱的处境。有时我们在神的帮助下可以勇敢地进入困境，得胜有余，有时我们则退后，安息在祂慈爱的同在中。

如果你曾有幸看到小鸡躲在母鸡的翅膀下，你会发现它们非常安静，完全感受不到危险，而母鸡则保持警觉，尽一切努力在保护自己的孩子。

当耶稣表示祂想要聚集耶路撒冷的百姓并保护他们时，祂也使用了类似的意象画面。(参路 13:34)祂很温柔，并把我们放在祂心上。

Psalm 91 shows that God, "the Almighty," is not intimidating or frightening. Instead, God is so gentle and concerned for everyone that they can find refuge in him like hatchlings under the care of a hen.

As God's people, we can trust the Lord fully because he will surround us, guard us against dangerous threats, and deliver us.

Resting in the shadow of God's protective wings means that we don't need to be afraid of chaotic things happening around us. There is a time for us to walk courageously into situations with God's help, and there is a time to retreat and be still in his caring presence.

If you ever have the privilege of watching chicks take cover under a hen's wings, you'll see that they stay very still and quiet, completely out of view of danger, while the hen is alert and watchful and will do whatever she can to protect her young.

Jesus uses similar imagery when he expresses his desire to gather up the people of Jerusalem and protect them (Luke 13:34). He is gentle and makes space for us near to his heart.
