"There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, Who rides upon the heaven in thy help, and in His excellency in the sky. 27. The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms, and He shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say destroy them."
Moses reminds Joshua that he has formidable help in conquering Canaan. In fact, he has eternal help. "Jeshurun" is another name for Israel. Israel's God was on their side and they could win. Take comfort in the fact that God is on your side in your life's struggles. He is not out to defeat you, but to enable you in your endeavors. Believe that God is on your side and that even His discipline is for your benefit. Verse 27 contains one of the most dynamic promises in the Bible: "The eternal God is thy refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms." If this was true in Moses' day it is true in our day. We can take refuge in God and forge ahead doing His will. It is a great comfort to me that I have an eternal resource in my life's endeavors. He is also an eternal resource for you in your life's endeavors. Trust your life to the eternal God and forge ahead. And we are reminded that "underneath are the everlasting arms." I just saw the ad on TV that says, "You are in good hands with Allstate." Moses is telling Joshua, and us, that we are in good hands with God. We just need to trust Him, realizing that "underneath are the everlasting arms." The "everlasting arms" are still there for you. I do not know what challenges you are facing in your life, but I do know that you do not have to face them alone. Really believe that God wants the best for you, but you also need to want the best for yourself. Trusting God, you can meet your life's challenges and come out ahead. You can take Moses' word for this, and you can also take the word of those who experience the "everlasting arms" today. Believe that the "everlasting arms" are "underneath" you. Hey, it's in the Bible---believe it. Bro. Joe
