A scene from Yellowstone stops us in our tracks: rangers walk a burned forest and find a mother bird, turned to ash at the base of a tree. When they gently move her, three chicks run out from under her wings. That picture of fierce protection sets the tone for a grounded, hope-filled morning as we explore what real refuge looks like when life gets hot and fear grows loud.
We turn to Psalm 91 and let its language become a place to stand: shelter of the Most High, shadow of the Almighty, refuge and fortress, feathers and wings, shield and rampart. These aren’t abstract metaphors; they’re everyday anchors for nights of worry, breaking news, and moments when our plans fall apart. Trust here isn’t denial; it’s the decision to rest under a covering that doesn’t abandon us when the flames rise.

If this reflection helped you breathe a little deeper, share it with someone who needs a quiet place to rest today. Subscribe for weekday encouragement, leave a quick review to help others find the show, and tell us: which line from Psalm 91 will you carry with you this week?
