God is Eternal; God is Our Refuge
By Marsha Iddings
Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms:…
I love this verse. God is the eternal God. Eternal signifies from ages past to eternity future. He is called the "eternal God" to show that He is different and superior to all the other puny gods of man's making. Isaiah 9:6 speaks of Him as the "Everlasting Father".
God is our refuge. Refuge speaks of a habitation, a dwelling place. As Christians our dwelling place is in Christ. John 15:4 says, "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me." Another word for abide is dwell. Philippians 3:9 says that we are to be found in him. Our dwelling place is in Christ. Proverbs
God upholds us with His everlasting arms. I have a tee shirt from my physical therapist that has a picture of a shield with a muscular arm breaking through. The caption says, "Feel the Power". The arm is a symbol of power. God's arms never give out…they are everlasting in power. Isaiah 26:4 says, "…in the LORD Jehovah is everlasting strength…" God is able to uphold us through our trials and when we falter in our faith. I think the following verse is a fitting conclusion to these thoughts.
Jude 1:24-25 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
