"There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, Who rides the heavens to help you, and in His excellency on the clouds."
-- Deuteronomy 33:26 (NKJV)
"Jeshurun" is the poetic form of Israel and can mean Jacob, who was renamed Israel by God, the people of Israel or the land itself. Either of the three is appropriate in this verse, because "the God of Jeshrun" is the God of Jacob, the God of the land that bears his name, and the God of his descendants -- our God, the God.
Do you remember all the stories and tales where a knight in shining armor, or the good guy cowboy, would come riding in on a white horse and save the day? That is what I see when I close my eyes and visualize this verse. God comes riding across the heavens to help us. Not with flashing sword or blazing guns, but with all the power and might of the universe and His service. I see His hair blowing in the wind of His fast ride, a smile playing across His face as He comes, once again, to our rescue. He is in His excellency, His milieu, as He sweeps across the clouds, the sun (and the Son) beaming brightly in the distance.
There is indeed no one like God. He rides the heavens, just to help us.
Father, thank You for always coming to our rescue, for riding across the heavens just to be at our side. Thank You for sending Your Son that we might be saved. Amen.
