God is our refuge not merely because we trust in Him, but because we rejoice in Him. We aren’t meant to simply be deliberate in our service of the Lord, no, we are meant to be exuberant, joyful, and triumphant towards Him, and in everything He does for us. How can we serve our Heavenly Father, or even our earthly one, out of love if there is no joy or emotion exhibited towards them as we do so? In everything we are to be thankful to God, and in our thanks there should be love, and we should exult in Him. Do we rejoice in our God when He has provided us with refuge, and stood guard over us against all enemies, and every worldly harm?
