 Bless Us in Your Loving Arms

A Reflection on Deuteronomy 33:27 and Psalm 17:8

Bless us in Your loving arms—not the arms of mortal man,

But the everlasting arms that hold the universe's span.

They are the arms that shaped the mountains, that carved the ocean deep,

Yet they cradle every child who comes, and all their promises keep.

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. (Deuteronomy 33:27)

Bless us—not just with provision, not just with peace from strife,

But with the sense of being held, of being known, of being alive.

For in Your arms, the restless heart finds its true home,

And the wandering soul discovers it never has to roam.

Your loving arms—a fortress, a shelter, a warm embrace,

A hiding place for the weary, a sanctuary of grace.

When the world is cold and harsh, when friends fall away,

Your arms are there to gather us and teach our hearts to pray.

Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings. (Psalm 17:8)

Bless us as we rise in the morning, before the day's demands.

Bless us as we lay our heads at night, held in Your scarred hands.

Bless our going out and coming in, our laughter and our tears,

Assuring us that in Your arms, we have nothing left to fear.

So we rest in Your embrace—not worthy, but beloved.

Not perfect, but pursued. Not strong, but kept and moved.

Bless us in Your loving arms, O Lord, today and every day,

Until we see You face to face and there forever stay.

Amen.
