The God of Jeshurun!
“There is no one like the God of Jeshurun. He rides across the heavens to help you, across the skies in majestic splendour. Deuteronomy 33:26
Lately, God has been speaking to me about being a help. I was reminded of:
The soprano psalm: God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. Psalm 46:1
The song of ascent/degrees: I look up to the mountains–does my help come from there? Psalm 121:1
The psalm of prayer for victory: May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.
Psalm 20:1-2
Each has its merit; however, today, I have a new vocabulary in my praise dictionary – The God of Jeshurun!
The God of Jeshurun is the God beyond the hills, ever present to help and answer in distress. He doesn’t just send help from his sanctuary rather he manifests wherever help is needed. He is the God of Israel and your God.
I have come to understand help is what you receive to:
- Strengthen you where you’ve been weakened
- Turn your sorrow into joy
- Enable you where you’ve been disabled
- Replace your incompetence with competence
- Empower you where you have been disempowered
As Moses blessed the tribes, he makes a profound pronouncement over Israel- Jeshurun. Jeshurun’s God is extraordinary and mounts the clouds to show up on his behalf. He takes the airwaves where no land, water or air traffic can hold him back.
Unlike the emergency services who would often delay in giving you the aid you require after you have spent a lot of time talking , this God takes into consideration the urgency of your situation and comes to your rescue speedily.
He also comes in his full splendour ..loaded .. weighty .. nyafu –nyafu, I dare say. Whatever your need or concern, he’s got it – be it healing, open doors, divine hook-up – he’s coming to your aid right away!
Would you #hollaapraise one time, for this God!
