Reverence and Awe

» Today's reading at Blue Letter Bible

The text for this Morning's Reading, comes again from Deuteronomy 33:27. A different phrase from Deuteronomy 33:27 was used for the text for yesterday's Morning Reading as well.

Let's take a look at the verse in a greater Scriptural context.

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; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, And will say, 'Destroy!' Then Israel shall dwell in safety, The fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine; His heavens shall also drop dew. Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD, The shield of your help And the sword of your majesty! Your enemies shall submit to you, And you shall tread down their high places.—(Deu 33:26-29 NKJV)

We are in the everlasting arms of the LORD. He is our Security! He is our Refuge! He is our Protector! He is our Avenger! He is our Strength! He is our Fountain of Living Water! He is our Savior! He is our Shield! He is our Help! Praise God for all the He is!

And then let us consider this section of Scripture from Romans 8:35-39:

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Whatever we are going through today, whatever the circumstances of our life today, the above promise is true and alive. Nothing can separate us from the love of our Savior!
