Those Everlasting Arms! (Deuteronomy 33:27)

by: James Smith, in "Daily Bible Readings for the Lord's Household"

"Underneath are the everlasting arms!"

That is, underneath every believer.
Those everlasting arms are there . . .
·        to bear him up,
·        to bear him on, and
·        to preserve from all real danger.
The arms of God are . . .
·        invisible, no one sees them;
·        spiritual, no one feels them;
·        careful, no one falls out of them;
·        omnipotent, no one overcomes them.
If the everlasting arms of my God are underneath me, then . . .
·        I may quietly yield myself unto Him;
·        I may confidently expect divine protection;
·        I may be certain that He will lift me above my foes;
·        I may feel assured that He will safely convey me home.

     Aged saints may rejoice in this; for to them the Lord says, "I will be your God throughout your lifetime, until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you!" Isaiah 46:4
     And weak believers may rejoice in this, for "He will carry the lambs in His arms, holding them close to His heart!" Isaiah 40:11

O to realize this sweet and encouraging truth:
Underneath me are the everlasting arms!
