Shatters The Forces Of Old

 

 

There is none like God, O Jeshuran, who rides through the heavens to your help, majestic through the skies. He subdues the ancient gods, shatters the forces of old; he drove out the enemy before you, and said, “Destroy!” So Israel lives in safety, untroubled is Jacob’s abode in a land of grain and wine, where the heavens drop down dew.  Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD, the shield of your help, and the sword of your triumph! Your enemies shall come fawning to you, and you shall tread on their backs.

 

Deuteronomy 33:26-29

 

In the spiritual realm of life, we can sometimes find that life is filled with unexpected free falls. The loss of a loved one, a broken relationship, a terminated job, can make us feel as if we are dropping into the unknown. For believers, we know that there is a cushion and that cushion is the loving arms of God.

 

Moses knew of that refuge and so can you and I. Despite the stresses of life, we can know with assurance that we are under God’s watchful care.

 

Do you feel as if you are in a free fall? Take heart, God’s loving arms are there to catch you.

 

With God behind you and

 His arms beneath you,

you can face whatever lies ahead of you.
