Until I saw this picture, it was hard to grasp the image the words portrayed. But here in this picture, we can understand what the passage means as we see the young finding comfort under the wings of a parent. I remember when my children were young how a night time thunderstorm would cause them to flee to the protection of our bedroom. There, next to mom and dad, they found a sense of safety, wiggling as close to us as they could.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_image image=”17324″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” caption_pos=”hover” remove_rounded=”yes” fullwidth=”no” overflow_mode=”none” link_target=”_self” lightbox=”no” intro_animation=”none” animation_delay=”200″ width=”1\/2″ el_position=”last”][\/spb_image] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n<p>Those moments where we huddled together became a fond memory instead of a cruel nightmare. To this day, retelling those childhood occasions produce laughter and joy rather than anything close to fear.<\/p>\n<p>That is what God can do for us in the midst of all of our troubles. If we draw near to Him, we can count on His presence to provide parental comfort. He will take the moments of our trials and make a fond memory causing all things to work together for the good.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [\/spb_row] [spb_row element_name=”Row” wrap_type=”content-width” parallax_image_height=”content-height” parallax_image_movement=”fixed” parallax_image_speed=”0.5″ bg_video_loop=”yes” parallax_video_height=”window-height” parallax_video_overlay=”none” row_overlay_opacity=”0″ row_col_pos=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_blank_spacer height=”30px” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Affiliated Ministries<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_blank_spacer height=”30px” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_button button_text=”Ark Ministry” button_size=”standard” button_colour=”accent” button_type=”standard” rounded=”no” button_dropshadow=”no” button_link=”http:\/\/arkministry.org\/about\/” button_target=”_blank” align=”center” animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ width=”1\/4″ el_position=”first”] [spb_button button_text=”Leslie Becker” button_size=”standard” button_colour=”accent” button_type=”standard” rounded=”no” button_dropshadow=”no” button_link=”http:\/\/lesliebecker.org” button_target=”_blank” align=”center” animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ width=”1\/4″] [spb_button button_text=”Scripture by Pic” button_size=”standard” button_colour=”accent” button_type=”standard” rounded=”no” button_dropshadow=”no” button_link=”http:\/\/scripturebypicture.com\/” button_target=”_blank” align=”center” animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ width=”1\/4″] [spb_button button_text=”Seekers Chapel” button_size=”standard” button_colour=”accent” button_type=”standard” rounded=”no” button_dropshadow=”no” button_link=”http:\/\/www.seekerschapel.org\/” button_target=”_blank” align=”center” animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ width=”1\/4″ el_position=”last”] [spb_blank_spacer height=”30px” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” el_class=”social-xl” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n<ul class=\"social-icons large \">\n<li class=\"facebook\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ScriptureByPicture\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"fab fa-facebook\"><\/i><i class=\"fab fa-facebook\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"youtube\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@ArkAnimalsMinistries\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"fab fa-youtube\"><\/i><i class=\"fab fa-youtube\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"pinterest\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/arkministry\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"fab fa-pinterest\"><\/i><i class=\"fab fa-pinterest\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"instagram\"><a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/scripturebypicture\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"fab fa-instagram\"><\/i><i class=\"fab fa-instagram\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n[\/spb_text_block] [\/spb_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[spb_row element_name=”Row” wrap_type=”content-width” parallax_image_height=”content-height” parallax_image_movement=”fixed” parallax_image_speed=”0.5″ bg_video_loop=”yes” parallax_video_height=”window-height” parallax_video_overlay=”none” row_overlay_opacity=”0″ row_col_pos=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] \u201cHe will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark\u201d (NASB, Psalm 91:4).
