What an Amazing Word Picture

A few weeks ago, the Lord gave me Deuteronomy 33:12 for Ben:

"Of Benjamin he said,
'May the beloved of the Lord dwell in security by Him,
Who shields him all the day,
And he dwells between His shoulders.'"

The last line had bugged me. What did "...he dwells between His shoulders..." mean? This morning I asked Owen Hollingsworth, one of the pastors I work with, what his understanding of that line is. He held out his arms in the shape of a hug and said, "God's got His arms around him--He's holding him." Boy, that'll make a mother melt into thankful tears!

God is so good.
