Morning devotions with Charles Sprugeon scripture from Deuteronomy no comments by me.

Deuteronomy 33:27 KJV - The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms:

God—the eternal God—is our constant support, especially when we’re sinking in deep trouble! There are times when Christians are deeply humbled, weighed down by the awareness of their sinfulness, feeling so low that they barely know how to pray, seeing themselves as unworthy. But child of God, remember that even at your lowest, “underneath” you “are His everlasting arms.” Sin may pull you down, but Christ’s atonement is always beneath it all. You may have fallen far, but never so far as “the uttermost”; and to the uttermost, He saves.

Sometimes, Christians sink deeply in painful trials. Every earthly support might be stripped away. What then? Still, beneath you are “His everlasting arms.” You can’t fall so far into distress and hardship that the covenant grace of our ever-faithful God won’t encircle you. Even when fierce inner battles rage, and trouble overwhelms, you cannot sink so low that you’re beyond the reach of “His everlasting arms.” They are always underneath, and with that assurance, all of Satan’s attempts to harm you are in vain.

This promise of God’s support is a comfort to anyone weary but committed to serving God. It’s a guarantee of strength for each day, grace for every need, and power for every task.

And when death comes, this promise will still hold true. As you pass through the river of death, you’ll be able to say with David, “I will fear no evil—for You are with me!” You may go into the grave, but you’ll descend no further, for His everlasting arms hold you even there. Throughout life and at its end, you will be upheld by “His everlasting arms”—arms that never grow tired or weak, for “the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth—He never grows faint or weary.”
