“Under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield” (Psalms 91:4, KJV)
Everyone who has belief in God’s existence wants to take shelter under His Almighty Wings. The very thought or imagination of living under the mighty Wings of God gives us unspeakable comfort and confidence. But most of the Christians don’t know what it really means to be protected under the mighty Wings of God.
Our present text gives us a beautiful definition of the concept of being protected under the Wings of God. The text tells us that our position under the Wings of God and our faith and beliefs in our mind are interconnected. The verse we have just quoted says, “His truth shall be thy shield”. Firstly, the verse speaks of having shelter under God’s Wings and then goes on to say that the truth of God shall be our shield.
That means everyone who takes refuge under God’s Wings will automatically come into contact with the truth of God. It also implies that it is impossible for us to be under God’s Wings without being confronted by the truth of God. The truth will be the shield for everyone who comes to dwell under the Wings of God.
We cannot ignore the truth of God and be safe under His Wings. There are so many Christians who want God’s protection but are not keen to believe only the truth. They believe that what we believe in our minds never interfere with our relationship with God. This is totally unbiblical concept. Anyone who neglects or rejects the truth of God will surely come out of God’s protection, because he cannot continue to dwell under God’s Wings without honouring God’s truth in His heart.
We, Christians, must be careful about what we are believing in our head. Believing the right doctrine alone doesn’t guarantee our salvation, but it surely does affect our relationship with God and determines our status before God.
It’s important for us to be right in our hearts but the perfect Christianity is being right both in our hearts and heads. Let us examine our hearts whether we truly hate the father of lies or not. If we hate the father of lies we will hate every false doctrine as well. Let us resolve right now that we secure our place under the Wings of God by establishing ourselves in the truth! God bless you! Have a nice day!

Bakht Singh (1903 - 2000)
He is often regarded as one of the most well-known bible teachers and preachers and pioneers of the Indian Church movements. He was India's foremost evangelist, preacher and indigenous church planter who founded churches based on New Testament principles. He began a worldwide indigenous church-planting movement in India that eventually saw more than 10,000 local churches. Norman Grubb missionary statesman, author and teacher: "In all my missionary experience I think these churches on their New Testament foundations are the nearest I have seen to a replica of the early church and a pattern for the birth and growth of the young churches in all the countries which we used to talk about as mission fields."Life of prayer. Brother Bakht Singh was a man of prayer. He spent hours upon his knees in communion with the Lord seeking the Lord's mind regarding His will concerning the work and ministry. Therefore, the Lord also honored him and blessed him beyond any human understanding. This is one of the reasons why the Lord has used him so mightily for the edification of His Body and for the extension of His glorious kingdom both in India and abroad.
