‏ Deuteronomy 33:27

v. 27: Moses describes God as “the eternal God” whose “arms are everlasting” . Unlike the gods of other nations, who are temporary and powerless, the LORD has always existed and will always exist. He is a refuge for His people, a safe and comforting home where they can find rest and protection, as echoed in “Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations” (Psalm 90:1 a). God’s everlasting arms support and protect His people, even in their most difficult times, giving them strength and hope, as Paul writes: “My grace is sufficient for thee” (2 Corinthians 12:9 b). God also leads Israel to victory, thrusting out their enemies and commanding them to destroy them. This reflects God’s sovereignty as the true owner of all lands and His power to give Israel the right and ability to conquer Canaan (Psalm 44:2 c). God’s eternal nature and His active role in Israel’s victories demonstrate His unmatched power and faithfulness.
