“There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides across the heavens to help you and on the clouds in his majesty. The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” Deuteronomy 33:26-27

I have never paid close attention to the designation- “the God of Jeshurun.” Jeshurun appears four times in the Old Testament, and it means “upright one” or “blessed one.” It is a synonym for Jacob and is used as a reference to the nation of Israel.

In Deuteronomy, the verse comes from the blessing of Moses before his death, and it speaks to the power and majesty of God. It begins with the uniqueness of God and emphasizes that there is no one like Him. The focus continues by highlighting how God actively works on behalf of His people to help them, by riding across the heavens and on the clouds in his majesty.

I am thankful for the God of Jeshurun, who is Sovereign and seeks the good of His people! Every blessing we have in life is from God and for His glory.
