God is Our Refuge

“The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” Deuteronomy 33:27

God is our refuge: a place to run to when life becomes overwhelming. He is there with outstretched arms, ready to comfort His child. It is there in those arms that we will find solace to all of life’s hurts. Enfolded in God’s arms, we will find security when our life seems to be falling apart and everything around us is unsettled. It is in the arms of our Heavenly Father that we will gain strength to go on another day. In His arms, God will hold us close, whispering in our ear, “Let me carry your burden for you, dear child.” When earthly arms fail us, as they often do, we can rest assured that the everlasting arms of our Father will always be faithful and true. They will always be there to give us comfort, strength and love. They will help us to face our disappointments in life; they will help us to face our fears and frustrations. They will even comfort us in our failures; for it is only when we completely yield ourselves to Him that we can feel the tender and loving touch of His healing taking place in our hearts. The Father is waiting for you; He is your refuge and His everlasting arms are always outstretched waiting for you.

Abba, Father, hold me close to You today. I need to feel Your loving arms surrounding me and holding me tight. I need Your reassurance that all will be well: that I am safe and secure in Your love. Help me to yield to Your arms that I might know Your healing touch in my life. Help me to give up my desire for control and run to You for help in all of life’s trials. Hold me tight and never let me go! Amen Quiet Waters
