Under His Wings: A Psalm 91 Hymn Bible Study
Notas do episódio
What does it really mean to find refuge "under His wings"? This episode is a hymn Bible study unpacking the scripture behind the hymn "Under His Wings" and the promise of Psalm 91.
Written by William O. Cushing with music by Ira Sankey, "Under His Wings" is built on Psalm 91:1-4, where God promises to cover His people "with His feathers" as a shield. We trace that same picture to Christ's own heartbroken words in Matthew 23:37, where He longs to gather His people "as a hen gathereth her chickens," and to Paul's declaration in Romans 8:35-39 that nothing — not trouble, not persecution, not even death — can separate believers from God's love. The core insight: this refuge isn't reserved for some future crisis; it's an experience available right now, and one we need to build before we ever face a storm.
In this episode, you will hear:
- How Psalm 91:1-4 is the foundation for every line of this hymn
- Why Jesus compared Himself to a hen gathering her chickens in Matthew 23:37
- The stories of Noah, Daniel, and the three Hebrew worthies as examples of God's protection
- Why Romans 8:35-39 promises nothing can separate believers from God's love
