Leaning on the everlasting arms

Sunshine’s Reflections

Good morning.  Happy Monday to you all!  I pray that you had a blessed weekend and a wonderful day.  

TFTD: Leaning on the everlasting arms  

Deuteronomy 33:27 (New International Version)

 ²⁷ The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
       He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, ‘Destroy him!’ 

   

 As long as we live this life, we will face disappointments, heartache, challenges, trials and tribulations.  It is in God’s word that our days are numbered and they are full of trouble (Job 14:1).  Now some may read this and feel sad, but I want to encourage you to see the blessing in this.  

Knowledge is power.  And since you know that your days on this earth are few and full of trouble you should make the best out of every situation.  Find the blessing.  When life throws you a curve ball, lean on the everlasting arms of the Lord.  When your finances are few, lean on the everlasting arms of the Lord.  When people talk about you, misuse you, misjudge you, criticize, and lie on you, lean on the everlasting arm.  Instead of looking at life’s challenges as hopeless, look at them as an opportunity to see how strong God’s arms are.   

When you place your cares and your life in the arms of the Lord you should feel safe and secure.  You should fear no man and nothing while resting in the arms of the Lord.  When everything around you begins to fall apart and nothing seems to make sense LEAN ON THE EVERLASTING ARMS of the LORD.  

Food for thought:  Stop leaning on people because they are undependable and limited in their ability to respond to your problems.  Lean on the everlasting arms of the Lord-there is no limit to the amount of trouble He can hold and He can and will hold you.  

If you do not have a personal relationship with God, I dare you to try Him.  If you feel lost or confused, I double dare you to try Christ.  He will never leave you nor forsake you.  

Have a blessed day.  I’m leaning on the everlasting arms of the Lord!
