Thurs., 6/28/12 Devotion (Deut. 33:26-27a)

Today's encouragement comes from Deuteronomy 33:26 & 27a, where we read these words:

"There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to help you, and in His excellency on the clouds. The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms."

What great love and provision the Lord God gives His beloved church! She is aided on every side; and she has God Himself, with all His "ex-cellencies" and strength, to support her. This God is incomparable; and He is eternal. He is also active--seen in His riding the heavens, to help us.

May all the Lord's children draw encouragement from the fact that their Father in heaven loves them so much. May they know the com-forts that come from God's abiding with us here (in Jesus).
