Shelter Beneath Wings
Today the verse imagines divine care as a protective embrace: כְּנָפָיו (knafav) – His wings (pronounced k-na-fav). In Jewish poetry, "wings" evoke a gentle, reassuring shelter—close, nurturing, and enveloping. This image suggests that you are cradled by care larger than your worries, and encourages you to rest in this safety.
Your personal insight: Feeling sheltered can come from faith, from community, or simply from moments of reassurance. These "wings" are near when you allow yourself to recognize them.

Reflection Prompt: Visualize a place you feel safe—literal or imagined. Where, or with whom, do you recognize your own "wings"?
