In Deuteronomy 33: 12 we are told, “Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in Him, for He shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between His shoulders.” What a cool verse. Mothers and fathers the world over would like to be able to shield their children “all day long”; but, as all of us know, that is an impossibility. This is a blessing Moses delivered to the tribe of Benjamin just before his death. As one of His beloved I claim it for myself. Yes, I’ll share with you. (tee hee)
One of the ideas I love about this verse is that as one of His beloved; He not only lets me rest secure in Him, He not only shields me all day long, AND, (here it is, you ready?) but also I get to rest between His shoulders. Now, think about this, if I’m resting between someone’s shoulders, where am I? The only possibility I could determine was to be in HIS EMBRACE. I AM BEING HUGGED BY GOD!!! Does that not strengthen you and excite you??
