His Everlasting Arms

Jesus and His disciples were in a boat and a violent storm arose. They awoke Jesus from His sleep and cried, “Master, carest thou not that we perish?” Of course Jesus cared, for He loved them. So “he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still” The time would come when they would need that faith and peace. They would learn to rest in His loving care.

BY JOHN D. MORRIS, PH.D.

“The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee.” - (Deuteronomy 33:27)

The third verse of “I Am His, and He Is Mine” recalls former times of alarm, fear, and doubt, but testifies of the rest and peace in His love, cradled in the “everlasting arms” of the Savior.

Things that once were wild alarms Cannot now disturb my rest;

Closed in everlasting arms, Pillowed on the loving breast!

O to lie forever here, Doubt and care and self resign,

While He whispers in my ear—I am His and He is mine.

This verse reminds us of the evening when Jesus and His disciples were in a boat and a violent storm arose.

They awoke Jesus from His sleep and cried, “Master, carest thou not that we perish?” (Mark 4:38).

Of course Jesus cared, for He loved them.

So “he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still” (verse 39).

To His disciples, He said, “Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?” (verse 40).

The time would come when they would need that faith and peace. They would learn to rest in His loving care.

The song also reminds us of the special loving relationship between Jesus and the disciple John.

“Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved” (John 13:23).

A deep intimacy with Him was John’s, and can be ours, if we will only pillow our head on Him.

No passage expresses that intimacy as well as the Song of Solomon, using the analogy of husband and wife to reflect the self-sacrificing love between our Lord and His children.

“I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine” (Song of Solomon 6:3).

The affairs of this life interrupt our times of intimacy with Him, but there will be a day when we will “ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

The Institute for Creation Research (ICR) wants people to know that God’s Word can be trusted in everything it speaks about—from how and why we were made, to how the universe was formed, to how we can know God and receive all He has planned for us.

After 50 years of ministry, ICR remains a leader in scientific research within the context of biblical creation. Founded by Dr. Henry Morris in 1970, ICR exists to conduct scientific research within the realms of origins and Earth history, and then to educate the public both formally and informally through professional training programs, through conferences and seminars around the country, and through books, magazines, and media presentations.
