May 2 2—"He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust” (Psa. 91:4). Had this been invented by an unin spired pen it would have verged on blasphemy. Who would have dared to ap ply such a simile to the infinite Jehovah? Yet the very same simile is employed by our Saviour. “How often,” said He of the people He came to save, “would I have gathered thee as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, but ye would not.” Bunyan tells us that the hen has four calls. There is, first, the call of the night, the call to shelter from dampness and darkness. There is, second, the call for food; the mother bird has found some dainty morsel which she would fain share with her brood. There is, third, the call of danger. A cruel hawk is hovering overhead, and has its eye on the little chicks; or a storm threatens, and the mother’s call is interpreted as a storm warning, while the brood flies for refuge under the mother’s wings. The fourth call is the call of love: the mother loves to gather her helpless brood that they may feel the softness of her breast, the warmth of her body, the protection of her wings. Could any simile be richer in sug gestion? “He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust.” “All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing.” —/. G. M. May 23— "Be careful for, nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God”; (Phil. 4:6}. We are apt to forget the difference be tween “hearing” and “answering” prayer. Through all these years, when no re sponse came to the earnest prayers of Zacharias (St. Luke 1 :9-24), God was not deaf to his beseeching; his prayer had been remembered. It was so long that though the wish remained, hope and ex pectation may have died out, “they were well-stricken in years,” yet all the time God had remembered the wish, it was taken up and enshrined in a niche of its own in God’s great heart. Is it not a won derfully tender thought? Every sigh, every sorrow, every secret wish has be come enfolded in the love of God, kept there fresh as when first thought and felt. It brings out the tender care of our heavenly Father watching over us when perhaps' we think He has forgotten our prayers; and preparing when we least ex pect it to give us more than “we either desire or deserve.”— Bishop of Ripon. —o— May 24—“ Wait for the Lord . . . . .yea, wait thou for the Lord” (Psa. 27:14, New Translation). Faith learns quietly to wait God’s time as well as God’s deliverance. Sometimes the very power to continue in prayer is itself a grand and gracious answer, for it is our nature to grow weary all too soon. Into the poured-out heart God can and will put a peace and joy of which the prayerless soul knows nothing. And com munion with God trains and bends our
May 21— "Thou canst not follow Me now, but thou shalt follow Me after wards. Jesus answered him . . .” (John 13:36). Peter asked, “Why cannot I follow Thee, even now?” (R. V.). But we can follow Him only if the wish to follow outweighs all other wishes. “But Peter followed Him afar off.” This is how the lapse began. If, in a crisis, we are to be kept from denial, we must be very near to our Lord. One may easily lose heart in loneliness and distance and darkness. Peter would have been safer by the side of Jesus than in the distance by himself. Our Lord chose His disciples that they might be with Him. To be with Christ in prayer, in witness, in His Word, and in His work, is a true safeguard.— Rev. F. W. Ainley.
