Everlasting Arms
The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. And he thrust out the enemy before you…Deuteronomy 33:27, ESV
My nephews wedding was a big celebration! We were all so excited that all the family was there. Family came in from all over the U.S. to witness our nephew tie the knot. Our six-month old grandson made his debut to all of the family. He was so good! He enjoyed meeting everyone. I watched him go from person to person without any tears. He would get a little restless after a while and want whoever that was holding him to move him around.
At one point I saw him with his father. His dad was catching up with one of the family members he had not seen in a while, so they were in a pretty long conversation. I watched our grandson hang out with his father for about thirty minuets being just content. He was on his father’s shoulder looking around and he never said a word, or tried to move about. He was so satisfied with his father! He did not care that his father stood in the same place, he just kind of gnawed on his fingers and watched everyone.
Days later that scene kept playing over and over in my head. I heard the Holy Spirit say that the way you saw your grandson with his father is the way my children are supposed to be with me. Your grandson did not have a care in the world because he knew that he was with his daddy. He brought to my mind how LJ was good with the family, but he did not get settled until he was with his father. We can be good with other believers and have a great time of fellowship and worship, but our place of contentment and security is with our Father! Hallelujah!
Key points:
Security is guaranteed in the Father’s arms.
Rest is in the arms of our father.
Nothing can take the place of time with Jesus.
Affirmations: Matthew 10:20; Luke 24:32; Ephesians 6:19, Isaiah 55:11
