The Arms Of God

Life can be so scary at times! I am so grateful that the Lord is strong and powerful. When we worship, He can lead us to encounter His attributes and what He does on our behalf. I know we don’t need to be thinking of the Lord in human terms, but this is what the Bible says about His arms. Think about running into His arms today:

Ps. 37:17 The Lord holds the righteous ones with His arms
Ps. 89:21 The Lord strengthens us with His arm
Ps. 77:15 The Lord redeems us with His arm
Ps. 89:10 The Lord scatters our enemies with His arm
Ps. 98:1 The Lord gains the victory with His arm
Is. 40:10 The Lord rules the earth with the strength of His arm
Is. 51:5 The Lord judges with His arm
Is. 52:10 The Lord saves the nations with His arm
Is. 53:1 The Lord reveals His greatness with His arm
Jer. 32:17 The Lord creates with His arm (Jer. 27:5)
Jer. 32:21 The Lord rescued Israel with His arm (Ps. 136:12)
Mk. 10:16 The Lord gathers us in His arms (Is. 40:11)

EVERLASTING ARMS

Music: Anthony J. Showalter

Lyrics: Showalter and Elisha Hoffman

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,

Leaning on the everlasting arms;


What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the

everlasting arms.

Refrain

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;

Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,


Leaning on the everlasting arms;


O how bright the path grows from day to day,

Leaning on the everlasting arms.

What have I to dread, what have I to fear,

Leaning on the everlasting arms;

I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,

Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Deuteronomy 33:27

The eternal God is your refuge,

And underneath are the everlasting arms;

He will thrust out the enemy from before you,

And will say, 'Destroy!'

We are safe in His arms!
