Those everlasting arms!

Those everlasting arms!

“Underneath are the everlasting arms!” Deuteronomy 33:27

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!
