Refuge Under his Arms

     We have heard of the everlasting God but we do not speak of his everlasting arms very often. Ps.121:1 asked a question in verse 1 and answered the question in verse 2, "my help comes from the Lord" we have learned very well how to trust our jobs, our bank accounts, our friends, the doctors and even our religious beliefs. We have spent quite a lot of time seeking hiding places in the hills and mountains of our lives, we know where the caves are and we know how we can escape to them when we are faced with trouble. They seem so stable and sure but we are told in Rev. 16 that when the 7 vials of the wrath of God was being poured out that the mountains were no more to be found.

     We have a God who lives and reigns from everlasting to everlasting and he is forever and his arms is unfailing. Rom.8:14 "for as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God". We have a place of refuge and that place of refuge is God, safety and mercy and grace and solace that is unfailing is only found in God. Moses spoke of the glorious promises of our great God in Deut.33:27 "the eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms".

    What a promise, this promise got the children of Israel over the red sea without a ferry boat, without a super freeze of the water, without a mighty bridge. This promise took the children of Israel through the red sea on dry ground with the waters pushed back on the right and on the left causing it to stand as a glass wall until they got to the other side. The arm of the Lord is sure and everlasting, not short and not uncertain but mighty, mighty to save, mighty to heal and mighty to deliver, a sure help in the time of need, a refuge in the time of trouble.

     The arm of the Lord is Jesus and in Jesus there is hope and peace and life everlasting, he is the mighty one of Israel and there is nothing that is too hard for him to do. Elijah caught hold of this revelation and spoke to the sun and the sun stood still, Peter caught hold of this revelation and began to walk in it, the sick was laid in the street so that when he walked by and his shadow touched them they were healed. The promise of the arm of the Lord is available to us today with an unlimited amount of security, trust in him (God) who was and is and is to come, the everlasting arms of the everlasting God.
