2. I will say of the Lord,he is my refuge and my fortress. To take up a general truth
and make it our own by personal faith is the highest wisdom. Those who believe
should also speak—I will say—for such bold avowals honor
God and lead others to seek the same confidence. Let others say what they will,
be it ours to say of the Lord, “He is our
refuge.” But what we say we must prove by our actions; we must fly to the Lord
for shelter, and not to an arm of flesh. Let us, when we are secure in the
Lord, rejoice that our position is unassailable, for he is our fortress
as well as our refuge. Walls cannot keep out the pestilence, but the Lord can.
