Is My Refuge and Strength?

Psalm 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength”

What does it mean to say God is our refuge and strength?

God is our refuge, our safe place, our retreat, the place we go when we are afraid. And there is a lot of fear going around. God is also our strength or “power.” This is the same word that Jesus uses in in Acts 1:8 when he promises to give us “power” with the coming of the Holy Spirit who now lives within us.
