Many coins feature animals to symbolize their unique culture. Eagles soar on the U.S. quarter, while kangaroos hop on the Australian dollar. Pictured here is an Irish penny with a hen and her chicks.
What creature might represent you?
Jesus is often referred as a “lion” for His royal lineage, as well as a “lamb” for His innocence and sacrifice.
But do you know He also referred to Himself as a hen?
“…how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings…” (Matthew 23:37 NIV).
He longs to be close and keep us safe, which reveals His tender love.
The question of a relationship with Him is not whether He is interested in us, but if we are willing to draw near.
Today’s Prayer:
Dear Lord:
Battle and confrontation seem the norm these days. We are weary. Please help us draw near to Jesus’ tenderness and rest under the protection of His wings. Amen.
