The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. – Deuteronomy 33:27 NKJV
This name in Hebrew is Olam Zeroa.
Steps on Your Journey to Know God More Intimately
- Olam means eternity, perpetual, always and continuance. Zeroa means arm, strength and power. God’s strength and power are always with us.
- This is one of my favorite verses. When I’m going through a tough time, it helps me to remember that when I hit the bottom, I’m resting on God’s everlasting arms. That is so comforting.
- Right now, imagine yourself resting in God’s arms.
- Meditate on God’s everlasting arms. Ask Him to show you what they look like and feel like to you.
- Write this verse and put it somewhere you can see when you need comfort and encouragement. It is short enough you could easily memorize it.
A Prayer for You
Thank You, Lord, for Your everlasting arms that are always underneath me. Help me to learn to feel Your arms around me and under me during the easier times in my life, so I can recognize them quicker when times get harder.
