Under His Wing
FEBRUARY 6, 2026
Daily Reading—Exodus 27-28 / Matthew 23:23-39
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
WHAT I’VE NOTICED
It was evident that Jesus loved the children of Israel. He speaks of how He would have loved to gather them together to protect and love them in the same way that a mother loves her children. There is no greater picture of earthly love than that of a mother’s love for her child.
Today, Jesus loves the church with that same love. We read in Eph. 5:25, “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;” Sadly, just as Israel would not allow Jesus to gather them and love them, many today will not gather with the church that Jesus loves so much.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Is it possible that today, when Jesus looks at the church,
He loves and protects as His bride,
He may be saying, Oh church, church, “and ye would not?”
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?
Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What are the things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
