MGD: In Whose Arms Are You?

Praise the Lord and a very good morning to you.

Welcome to our morning Glory devotion which is powered by

Harvest Chapol International, Kumasi. Today's devotion will be shared by

Pastor and missus Amwapia. Let's share a word of prayer. Father,

will thank you this morning for your goodness and your

sister was us. Thank you for the gift of life

and the privilege to gather around your word the way.

Welcome your presence even now, and we ask that you

nourish us with the truth of your word in Jesus'

minding him well. Pray with ends even Amen. Let's take

a confession from Joshua chapter one, verse eight. This book

of the Law shall not depart out of my mouth,

but I shall meditate in a day and night that

I may observe to do according to all that desirating

in it. For then I will make my way prosperous,

and then I will have good success. Amen. Our devotion

is titled in Whose Arms are You? We will take

our scripture reading from Deutronomy chapter thirty three, verse twenty seven.

The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are

the everlasting arms and he thrust out the enemy before

you and said destroyed. Made the Lord bless the reading

of his word, Amen.

In those arms are you. In twenty sixteen, what seemed

like an ordinary journey from my prier to Commaci and

a vip bus turned into a live chaining experience. I

was involved in a serious accident that left me with

a deep fear of traveling on big buses. From that

day forward, every trip became a struggle. The slighter tolt

of the bus would make my heart raise, and every

sudden break would bring the memories of that traumatic day

flatten back. Though I tried repeatedly to welcome the fear

on my own, nothing seemed to work. Years later, when

my husband and I got married, the effects of that

accident were still very much alive. Because I was working

in a car while at home was in Kumasi, I

traveled almost every weekend to be with him. What should

have been joyful journeys became weekly confrontations with a fear

I had carried for seven years. As a month turned

into years, I found myself asking the same question over

and over, will I ever be free from the sphere.

During one of the trips, I found myself on the

bus again, surrounded by all kinds of passengers, the elderly,

the young, mothers were toldless, and people of various backgrounds.

I sat in my seat, completely guarded, ready to nurse

my usual anxieties low and behold the bars tilted. By

this time it wasn't a small tilt. It was a heavy,

nerve racking lane. As the driver maneuvered through incredibly onto

latent terrain. I was terrified to death. Passengers around me panicked,

some even standing up in shock to see what was happening.

Right in the middle of my panic, the Holy Spirit

prompted me to look across the l at a toddler

resting in her mother's arms. She was completely unbothered by

the chaos around her, fall ad all to a trembling,

This little girl was calm and smiling. She had absolute

confidence that because she was held tightly in her mother's arms,

her safety was guaranteed. Then the Holy Spirit was spread

a question straight to my heart, in whose arms are you?

I fierce dissipated. With the speed of light, A profound

peace swept over me. Everything else came to a standstill,

and we continued our journey safety to commerci in that moment,

and under still that if a child can rest peacefully

in the arms of an elderly parent, how much more

and a child of God rest in the everlasting arms

of the heavenly Father. The circumstances had not changed. The

boss was told get in the same difficultary. The wood

was still rough. Yet my heart to transform because my

focus shifted from the danger around me to the God

who was carrying me through it. Many of us are

living as though as safety depends on our ability to

control level situation. We worry about our future, our finances,

our health, our families, and our careers. We scan every

circumstance for signs of danger and uncertainty. Yes, the Lord's

question remains the same, in whose arms are you? The

answer to fear is not always the removal of uncertainty.

Often it is the assurance of God's presence. Peace comes

when we recognize that our lives are not ultimately in the

hands of circumstances, as in the hands of a loving

father who neither slumbers nor sleeps. Scriptures remind us that

in the Turnamy three twenty seven A, that eternal God

is your refuge and underneath our everlasting arms, beloved. Those

arms have never failed the herod Us yesterday. They sustain

us today, and they will carry us safely into tomorrow.

Whatever journey you are on today, whatever fears threatening your peace,

remember this truth. You are not traveling alone. You are

held securely in the everlasting arms of God. And when

you know whose arms you are in, you can face

even the toughest roads with confidence and peace. Amen, beloved.

Let's take our memory of this as I had had

to forty three. Verse two I read from the ESV version.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you,

and through the rivers, it shall not overwhelm you. When

you walk through the fire, it shall not be paid,

and the flame shall not consume you. Amen.

Let us pray. Father, We thank you this morning for

your word. Thank you for giving us insight into this

comforting truth that comes from your wed We ask for

grace to be doers of this wet you shared with

us this morning. We pray that the truths concerning we

resting in your arms will bear fruits in our lives

and bring glory to your holy name. In the minding

name of Jesus, we have prayed with all things given Amen,

we love it. God bless you for joining today's episode

of our Morning Glory Devotion. Join us again tomorrow at

six thirty am for another edition of the Morning Glory Devotion.

Until then, remain in cost presence and stabilist shalom.
