“God’s glory is all around me! His wraparound presence is all I need, for the Lord is my Savior, my hero, and my life-giving strength. Trust only in God every moment! Tell him all your troubles and pour out your heart-longings to him. Believe me when I tell you—he will help you! Pause in his presence God said to me once and for all, “All the strength and power you need flows from me!” And again I heard it clearly said, “All the love you need is found in me!” And it’s true that you repay people for what they do.”
God’s Word tells us that He is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble. We can trust Him. He can lean on Him. He will uphold us when we are tired, and He will strengthen us when we are weak. We can count on Him. He is the self-existent One, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Literally all power and all authority are from Him. Everything we need, everything we lack, everything we desire can be found in Him. He supplies it all. And I love what David said at the end of this - it’s true you repay people for what they do. The Lord is not oblivious to what’s going on. He sees it all -- the good and the evil. As we take on the good works He has prepared for us, there is reward in that. As we rise up in courage to face evil, there is reward in that. As we live in a way that honors Him, there’s reward in that.
