This is the day the Lord has made…
I will rejoice today because God has His everlasting arms wrapped around me (Deuteronomy 33:27). God’s arms are strong and powerful enough to carry me through any hardship I face. God’s arms are gentle and kind enough to comfort me when I mourn. God’s arms are ready to catch me if I fall. They are ready to lift me up to heaven. They hold me close. They provide refuge. They deliver from evil. They keep me safe and secure. They bring peace in a chaotic world.
God’s everlasting arms are able to keep all of us from falling, and present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy (Jude verses 24-25). Plus, more than this, God’s arms offer us everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3). No wonder Leaning on the Everlasting Arms is a beloved hymn for all generations.
“The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are
the everlasting arms.” ~Deuteronomy 33:27 (NKJV)
