THE ETERNAL GOD IS THY REFUGE - DEUT 33:27

"...the word rendered 'refuge' signifies more generally a habitation: or, as we say, a home. The eternal God is the believer's dwelling place. This dwelling place I consider in two respects: First -- a hiding place; and this like-wise two-fold, -- a sanctuary from guilt and punishment, and a castle or place of security from enemies. Second, -- a resting place, where provision is made for every want, and such satisfaction is enjoyed as the world cannot afford...a believer, like a snail, go where he will, has his house with him and is always at home, because he dwells in God." -- John Newton
