However low we may sink!
(J.R. Miller, "Evening Thoughts" 1907)
underneath are the everlasting arms!"
Deuteronomy 33:27
Of course GOD has no arms; but HE
reveals HIMSELFf to us in human language--
the only language we could understand.
We know what a mother's arms,
a father's arms, mean to a child.
But human arms are frail, and any
hour their embrace may be withdrawn.
The other day a child was grieving
by his mother's coffin--
but the arms which had clasped
the boy always so tenderly,
could not move to comfort him.
But the arms of GOD are "everlasting."
GOD holds HIS redeemed children
in the strong embrace of HIS love!
No matter what may come to us
of danger, of calamity, of terror--
they will still and ever enfold us.
These arms of GOD are ever
and always "underneath" us.
However low we may sink away
in pain, in weakness, in sorrow--
we shall never sink out of
the divine arms!
JESUS said no one can snatch
HIS loved ones out of HIS hands.
In death, when we shall sink
out of every human embrace--
we shall still be in the clasp of
GOD'S love and HIS everlasting
arms will be underneath us. Such
a word as this assures us of eternal
security in GOD'S love!
