Listen to what the word of the LORD has to say Man’s strength alone has never been sufficient “the way of man is not in himself” (Jer. 10:23). “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” (Prov. 14:12). Jesus said that “apart from Me you can do nothing” (Jn. 15:5). But with our God, our Mighty Fortress, “all things are possible” (Matt. 19:26). I one of my favorite verses, is Romans 8:31 “If God is for us, who can be against us?” God indeed is a mighty fortress. So the psalmist said, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear” (Psa. 46:1-2).
