PROMISE #106 - APRIL 16
Promise #106:
I will cover you all day long as you rest between My shoulders.
Deuteronomy 33:12 (WEB)
Of Benjamin he said, “The beloved of Yahweh shall dwell in safety by him.
He covers him all the day long. He dwells between his shoulders.”
Today's Scripture verse is from Deuteronomy 33, where Moses pronounces a blessing on all the tribes of Israel before his death. The New International Version of the Bible presents Deuteronomy 33:12 as follows: Regarding Benjamin, he said, “Let the beloved of the LORD rest secure in him, for he shields him all day long, and the one the LORD loves rests between his shoulders.”
What an incredible picture of intimacy is painted between God and Benjamin. Moses refers to Benjamin as the Lord's beloved, who will enjoy His covering all day long as he rests between God's shoulders. I believe every promise God made to His beloved is a promise we can claim as our own because we, too, are loved by God.
Our God and Father invites us to rest upon His shoulders today and to dwell in a space of complete safety with Him. He is our refuge and truly a place where we can 'let down our hair' and unwind. My prayer today is that this promise becomes real for each of us, enabling us to rest in the arms of our Heavenly Father genuinely.

Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you for welcoming me into your throne room anytime, night or day, to receive help and mercy in my time of need. I pray that I can envision what this looks like more fully today as you invite me to jump into your lap and rest deeply in your embrace. I thank you that this place of safety and security is always available for me whenever I need reassurance of your amazing love for me.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
I will cover you all day long as you rest between My shoulders.
