COVERING
He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings, you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. Psalms 91:4 NKJV
Betha's portrayal of this psalm encapsulates two significant elements: her humble origins and her heartfelt prayer for the well-being of the Filipino populace. Reflecting on her upbringing, Betha acknowledges the divine guidance and safeguarding that accompanied her and her family throughout the years. Notably, the Philippine eagle, the country's national bird, symbolizes strength and divine protection in the scriptures. Betha extends her supplication for her homeland, petitioning, "God, safeguard and sustain my family and our nation. In Jesus' name, Amen."
The Philippines struggles to come out of its status as a third-world country. It has been plagued with poverty, corruption, human trafficking, terrorism, natural disasters, disputed waters and natural resources, and more. Undoubtedly, the divine presence of God is evident in the Philippines, showcased through the breathtaking beauty of its 7,107 islands. The populace exudes gratitude and joy, emphasizing the importance of close-knit families. They have an unparalleled work ethic and make every effort to treat you like one of their own.
