Hello, everyone!
Deuteronomy 33:27-29
The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, and will say, 'Destroy!' Then Israel shall dwell in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, in a land of grain and new wine; His heavens shall also drop dew. Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD, the shield of your help and the sword of your majesty! Your enemies shall submit to you, and you shall tread down their high places.
We are "a people saved by the LORD", and that places us in a position of privilege. It is a position of being guarded, defended and provided for by the Almighty Eternal God, the unchanging Creator of the universe. There are two sides to this position--it is a place of rest ("the eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms") and it is a place of power in battle ("your enemies shall submit to you, and you shall tread down their high places"). We can't take the high places without engaging in battle, yet it is only in the LORD that we have any authority or power to obtain victory--but in Him, that victory is assured!
Father, You are so great and so awesome; thank You for being my place of refuge when I need rest, and my assurance of victory in battle! Help me to live fully in the position of one who is saved by the LORD!
May the Lord bless you richly as fill the place of one who is saved by the LORD!
