His Everlasting Arms

Deuteronomy 33:27
"The eternal God is a dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms; ..."
"Leaning on the everlasting arms ..."

During our trials, there are times when "leaning" may not be enough. We must give place to our complete weight IN His arms.

There are seasons when I love to have His arms wrapped around me. But there are also seasons when I rejoice that His arms are carrying me!

We pray, "Lord, please wrap Your arms of love around So-and-so and protect them!" Then we say (when trials overtake us), "Where is God? Does He even care? I don't even feel His arms of love around me!" May I suggest that it is just in such a time as this, that His arms are underneath us carrying us THROUGH the trial?!
