what must be the power of His everlasting arms?


There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky. The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
Deuteronomy 33:26–27
 
Having finished the pronunciation of blessing upon the congregation of Israel, this great man of God reminds them again who their God is. If the sun, moon, and stars are the work of God’s fingers (Psalm 8:3), what must be the power of His everlasting arms?

When I was three years old, I remember my dad pulling up into our driveway after his day at work at the bank. I would scramble to the top of the wood box on the side of our house each day, and after parking the car, he would walk to the wood box and with outstretched arms say, “Okay, Jon. Jump.” And although I was scared, I’d jump. He always caught me. Every time.

Moses is hoping the children of Israel will come to understand the same thing - that their Father has strong arms and that He will never let them fall.
