"For the Lord is present with us;
and whenever we are attacked by any severe contest, let us learn to look to Him;
for if we hesitate and look hither and thither, we shall never enjoy peace of
mind. When He calls Himself our God, He
not only mentions His power, but gives proof of His goodness, which He intends
to exercise towards us; for it would not be enough to be convinced of the power
of God, if we were not equally certain of His love; and even when we are
terrified by the mention of His power alone, His goodness is well fitted to give
us peace.” from Calvin’s Commentary on Isaiah
41
“I, even I, am He who comforts you…I am the
Lord your God, who divided the sea whose waves roared—I have covered you with
the shadow of My hand…”Isaiah 51:12, 15, 16
“My kindness shall not depart from you, nor
shall My covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord who has mercy on you. Isaiah 54:10
“…You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my
glory and the One who lifts up my head.
I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard from His holy hill.” Ps 3:3-4
