“I am the Lord”, “I will make Myself known”, “I will show My greatness and holiness”, “I will execute judgment”, “I will make them know My power and might,” are all actions God has taken to turn the hearts of man from themselves to Him alone. When God is our refuge, strength, and hope we rely on His holiness, greatness, power, might, grace, mercy and love. The safest place of refuge is in Him alone. The safest path to be on is the one on which He is leading you. The strongest you will ever be is when you rely on His strength. The most courageous actions you will ever take are those directed and guided by Him. When we rely on, cling to, and trust in Him we find peace that passes all understanding, strength we did not have, hope beyond our circumstances, light in the darkness, and wisdom beyond our understanding.
