Deuteronomy 33:26 "There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, (Moses declares the powerful truth that this God, the God of Israel, is not like the phony gods and idols of any of the other surrounding peoples. This God is completely and mightily different in every way. He is eternal spirit, magnificent perfection, and infinite power and presence. He is like no other, and yet He chooses this people as His Own, His beloved one. He is the God of Israel, the God of Jeshurun, the God of each one of us. The name Jeshurun literally means the upright, beloved one. It is a loving term directed to a child to express affection and tender nurturing and refers to God's people Israel. In the Hebrew, if the name Israel were somewhat abbreviated, it would also be similar to that same loving word for a small child and reflect the same name as Jeshurun. Far more than the most attentive and dedicated father, our Heavenly Father sees us His people through loving and protective eyes and looks on us with tenderness and devotion.) Who rides across the heavens to help you and on the clouds in His majesty." (This description of the Lord is likely a reference to the pillar of cloud and fire that protected and shielded young Israel, but that also guided Israel in its youth through the desert places. Not only does this completely different God reveal Himself as Mighty and Majestic God when He rides across the heavens, but He also makes Himself known as Warrior, as Helper and Deliverer and Protector of His people. This Heavenly Father Who is also Mighty God, in His splendor, mounts even the highest heavens of the canopy of the firmament, racing through the clouds and the winds, to come to the aid and support of His beloved ones because He chooses to be the God of each one of us.)
