Good Morning Devotion :-)❤️

God’s Everlasting Arms

There is no one like the God of Israel. He rides across the heavens to help you, across the skies in majestic splendor. The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you. Deuteronomy 33:26-27

Our world seemed to be falling apart. My husband was severely depressed, and his business was crumbling. As I tried to support and nurture our children, help my husband, and take up the slack financially, I became drained physically, spiritually, and mentally. I cried out to God in exhaustion, and I felt his everlasting arms underneath me. Quieting my racing heart, the Lord reminded me that although my own resources might be exhausted, his resources were limitless.

During that difficult season I experienced God as my refuge when there was nowhere else to turn, and I felt his security in the middle of a very uncertain, insecure time.

In today’s passage Moses praises the Lord and assures the Israelites that God will be with them no matter what adversity or trial they encounter—that he is their refuge and underneath them are his everlasting arms. Do you need to feel God’s everlasting arms carrying you today because your strength is exhausted? Do you know someone who is in desperate straits and needs God’s help? Pray these verses for yourself or for someone else, and proclaim God’s faithfulness.

LORD, there is no one like you! You ride across the heavens in majestic splendor to help us when we cry out to you. May we experience you today as our refuge and sense your everlasting arms of protection and love holding us. I praise you for your faithfulness and unparalleled power!

WHEN YOU ARE AT THE END OF YOUR ROPE, GOD IS THERE TO CATCH YOU—BUT NOT BEFORE.
Erwin W. Lutzer (b. 1941)

Good Friday morning, my dear sweet and grateful steemit family and friends. I praise and thank God for this timely reminder because I really feel physically and financially exhausted. I will be going to Manila on Saturday to undergo my immersion program. And yes, my final pay from my previous work hasn't arrived yet. I've done my follow up already and I do not want to stress out our dear HR anymore. Besides, I already prayed for it so I will just wait for His reply. :-)

It is indeed a blessing to have a friend who always shares devotion and I praise and thank God for ms. @catietan's devotion. I am always recharged, energized and encouraged by these devotions. And what a way to start our morning with this prayer, "LORD, there is no one like you! You ride across the heavens in majestic splendor to help us when we cry out to you. May we experience you today as our refuge and sense your everlasting arms of protection and love holding us. I praise you for your faithfulness and unparalleled power!" Amen :-) ❤️

Thank you very much for your time and God bless :-)

I am @sashley a.k.a. shirleynpenalosa, a recipient of God's love, mercy and grace. ❤️

Have a blessed Summer month of April 2018 everyone :-)❤️

I am forever grateful to God every day of my life for giving me everything that I need and praise Him all the more for not giving me everything I want. To God be all the honor, praise and glory ❤️ :-)
