and his everlasting arms are under you.”

There are times when we all think, “I’m going under for the last time! I’m about to sink!” But no matter how deep you get, God’s love is deeper than your problem.

Corrie ten Boom and Betsie ten Boom were Christians who lived in the Netherlands during World War II. They hid Jews in their home to protect them from the Nazis. 

When they were discovered, not only were the Jews taken to the concentration camp, but Corrie and Betsie were taken as well, and they spent the rest of the war there.

After watching one atrocity after another, Corrie told Betsie, “This place is the pit of Hell!” Betsie replied, “There is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper.”

Maybe you find yourself in the pit of life. You may have hit bottom financially and think, “I am not going to make ends meet.” 

Maybe you hit rock bottom in your ministry and feel like giving up. 

Or, maybe you’ve hit bottom emotionally, or in your marriage, or in your health. You’re frustrated and can’t help but think, “I’m going under.”

Where is God when you hit bottom? He’s right there underneath you. He is “your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you” (Deuteronomy 33:27 NLT).

Drop into his arms of love. Let him catch you and support you when you have nowhere else to go.
