Confidence
“The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms” (Deuteronomy 33:27).
Maybe you are feeling like you are sinking on the sea of life, and that the circumstances and the flood of things you have to face and deal with are just too great. Our God assures us, “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee” (Isaiah 43:2).
One hot summer afternoon I watched a mother in a swimming pool with her young child. She held her arms underneath the child to support him and keep his head above the water. The child was completely secure and confident in the strength and ability of his parent. That’s really the way it is with God and His children. He keeps His arms underneath us in the waters of this life and keeps us afloat. Remember as you go about today that God’s arms are underneath you, and no matter how low or how down you may feel, you can never get below those arms of everlasting power.
