In the book of Isaiah the prophet (chapter 26) we find the following
Song of Salvation:
"We have a strong city; God will appoint salvation for walls & bulwarks. Open the gates, that the righteous nation which "keeps the truth" may enter in. Preserved, guarded, secure in perfect peace (shalom-shalom) is the mind stayed (camak: sustained, upheld, supported; leaning) in the refuge of trust and confidence. Trust in Yehovah forever, for in Yah, Yehovah is everlasting strength. For He brings down those who dwell on high, the lofty city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He brings it down to the dust. The foot shall tread it down--the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy."
The strength of the City of God is Yehovah Himself; there is no other Rock like our God. Unless the Lord God build the City, they labor in vain who build it. Unless the Lord God preserves the City, the watchman is awake in vain. It is solely Yehovah who appoints salvation as our defense and guard.
The Lord our God possesses and is EVERLASTING STRENGTH. Let us focus our mind on His refuge for our soul: TRUST & CONFIDENCE IN YEHOVAH our Father, His son, Our Lord Jesus the Christ, and His Holy Spirit.
THE RESULT WILL ALWAYS BE A SHALOM PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING!
