Verse of the Day 5/31
Deuteronomy 33:26-27 "There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,
who rides across the heavens to help you
and on the clouds in his majesty.
27 The eternal God is your refuge,
and underneath are the everlasting arms.
He will drive out your enemies before you,
saying, 'Destroy them!' New International Version (NIV)
Yesterday in Isaiah 40:8 we considered how God's Word won't wither or fade, but will stand, will endure forever. It is everlasting. In today's verse Moses pours out his heart, praising God who is like no other, who "rides across the heavens to help you." Think about that, the God who created the heavens will ride across those heavens in a nano second to help you.
These are ancient words, written and. Inspired by God thousands of years ago, but they are still as true today as they were then.
Another thing to consider and to take to heart here in theses verses is that just as His word endures forever, our everlasting Father has everlasting arms to carry us through whatever this world has to throw at us.
The hymn "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" comes to mind.
What have I to dread, what have I to fear
Leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near
Leaning on the everlasting arms
Leaning, leaning
Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning
Leaning on the everlasting arms
Though He rides across the heavens for us, He is never far from us, He is with us. If you face challenges today, lean into those everlasting arms.
Blessings,
Mike
Deuteronomy 33:26-29 New King James Version (NKJV)
26 "There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,
Who rides the heavens to help you,
And in His excellency on the clouds.
27 The eternal God is your refuge,
And underneath are the everlasting arms;
He will thrust out the enemy from before you,
And will say, 'Destroy!'
28 Then Israel shall dwell in safety,
The fountain of Jacob alone,
In a land of grain and new wine;
His heavens shall also drop dew.
29 Happy are you, O Israel!
Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord,
The shield of your help
And the sword of your majesty!
Your enemies shall submit to you,
And you shall tread down their [a]high places."
