Jehovah, the Lord God, is the most powerful Being, who, you believe, can go anywhere and do anything He wishes. This is true and yet, at times, He waits for you invite Him on the scene. Then He imposes His strong presence before your face. He stations Himself there to be everything you need Him to be.

Even though He has bound His strength and might to you, He wants to settle down and rest with you. He will remain with you; He will never leave nor abandon you. Knowing that He will not depart permits you to enter into His quietness and peace. His resting place is also your resting place. Through His covenant, He gathers you to Himself and there you will remain forever; for His strength makes you firm and you prevail.

You are a priest, chief, and ruler for Jehovah. and you are dressed in His salvation and deliverance, for you cried out to God for help. When He heard your shout, He gave you victory and freedom. Now you are His faithful and holy saint. With His help, you are good, kind, and godly. You will never be put to shame nor reproached. Therefore, rejoice and be glad in His goodness; you have found Adonai's favor.
