Saturday Writing...10/6/18..."Everlasting Arms"

Good morning,

Today the writing is concerned with the offering of God to shelter us in His everlasting arms. He wants us to understand that His arms are strong enough to carry us and protect us in times when we are feeling unsafe and confused. Carol wrote, "God's arms are strong enough to carry us through everything in life and land us safely on the other side  -- our heavenly home.......think about God's everlasting arms which are there to uphold us through it all."

Lets all plan to rely on the strength of God's everlasting arms whether in good times or in not so good times.

"Everlasting Arms"

 Written by 

Carol Steficekw

"The eternal God is your refuge, 

and underneath are the everlasting arms."

Deuteronomy 33:27a

Have you ever watched baby birds hatch and grow and then finally have to leave the nest after their flying lessons?  The mother and father provide all the security the baby needs and will literally fly under it to catch it if it is in danger.  That is how secure we should feel with God as our Father.  He will always be there to catch us to prevent us from falling headlong into disaster.  

God will help us mount up with wings like eagles and be able to soar above all that happens to us.  Does that mean the Christian will not have trials or troubles as the rest of the world? Of course not.  We're all subject to sin because we live in a fallen world.  But the Christian, unlike unbelievers, has a sure refuge to go to. 

God's arms are strong enough to carry us through everything in life and land us safely on the other side  -- our heavenly home.  So remember, if the birds can provide such security for their young, think about God's everlasting arms which are there to uphold us through it all.

We must not bristle at reproofs and discipline because these light up the truths we must learn. Those who love you will not remain silent when they see something we must follow and learn. Such teachings are their duty to communicate to and share with those for whom they are responsible.
