God surrounds His children. He dwells in them. "There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to help you, and in His excellency on the clouds. The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you" {Deut. 33: 26-27]. These verses show that the Lord is above, around, and underneath HIs saints. "Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations" {Ps, 90:1} We are surrounded by you as the earth is surrounded by the atmosphere:
Within Thy circling power I Stand,
On every side I find Thy hand:
Awake, asleep, at home abroad,
I am surrounded still with God.
The eternal God is your dwelling place and your rest, and underneath are the everlasting arms. The soul has come to its resting place in God and is supported by divine strength. The heart has learned to live in Christ Jesus and to lean on Him day and night.
We are like Noah's dove, weary and about to drop into the destroying waters. But Noah puts out his hand, takes her, and draws her into the ark{Gen. 8:9}. The dove found a refuge that surrounded and upheld her. The hands covered her on all sides.
The hand of God sustains those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High and abides under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; and my God, in Him I will trust" {PS>91;1].
