“Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself” (Exodus 19:4).
The wings of God are a great place of security for the believer. “I bare you on eagles’ wings,” the Lord says. He will never allow us to fall. “The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms” (Deuteronomy 33:27). “As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: So the LORD alone did lead him” (Deuteronomy 32:11,12). God bears us on His wings, so that He can bring us to Himself (text).
The wings of God are a place of renewed strength. “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31). “Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s” (Psalm 103:5).
The wings of God are a place of healing. “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings” (Malachi 4:2). The first time the Lord came was to heal our sin-sick souls; the second time He comes He will heal us—body, soul, and spirit.
The wings of God are a place of refuge. “Yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast” (Psalm 57:1). “He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust” (Psalm 91:4).
The wings of God are a place of rejoicing. “Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice” (Psalm 63:7). “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1). NPS
