To rest in the shadow is to feel safe, sheltered, protected, and open to the spiritual truth of God.
Shadow = perceived as God’s Protective Presence
It is in the shadows of those wings that we find answers, rest, direction, knowledge, and feel the sustaining, powerful love of God. It is the place we bravely find our way in a world of confusion. I am sure Mary rested in the shadows of His wings many times on her difficult journey to Bethlehem. If she could do it then assuredly you and I can do it.
Take your place in the shadows of God’s wings. Settle in, and feel His presence within the deepest parts of you.
