Yesterday, my son Tim took a picture of this family parade of Canadian geese while I stood far off with my dog, so as to not to frighten them. The mother goose is leading the pack while the father goose is behind, making sure their goslings are protected. The goslings will not leave their parents' side until their first Spring migration when they return to their birthplace.
The Bible says that God is like both the mother goose and the father goose. God goes before us and behind us to lead and protect.
"You will not leave in a hurry,
running for your lives.
For the Lord will go ahead of you;
yes, the God of Israel will protect you from behind."
Isaiah 52:12 (NLT)
All of God's children in this world are like those goslings in the picture. God in His great wisdom leads us and at the same time lovingly protects us from evil.
