And underneath are the everlasting arms;—Deuteronomy 33:27b
As a believer, I am upheld through this life by the Everlasting God. The arms of Him who never faints nor grows weary underpin me. There is no where I can flee from Him. No matter where I am His goodness and mercy surround me. He has hedged me behind and before and has laid His hand upon me. His right hand holds me and leads me. His love for me is unfailing. He will love me to the end..to perfection in Heaven.
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness shall fall on me,"
Even the night shall be light about me;
When the darkness closes in and I begin to sink…He is my Light.
When sin overwhelms my heart and weighs me down…He draws near…grace abounding.
When wave upon wave of grief washes over me like a tidal wave, His comforts delight my soul.
When I am weak, my everlasting God gives me power
When I am without strength, His is mine
When I need wisdom, His understanding is unsearchable.
When I feel as if everything is too much, He is my sufficiency.
When I am weary, His Presence goes with me and gives me rest
When I am alone, He is my Emanuel, my God who is always with me.
1 The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD
Forever.—Psalm 23
