I came to tell somebody, if you don't already know it, your help is to be found in the God who made you his own child, who said, I have begun a good work in you, and I'm going to bring it all the way to completion,

and you and I have to learn to live with a God consciousness.

The Lord is your refuge in strength of very present help in times of trouble.

commanded to give him extraordinary honor and deference, almost adoration. And he's basking in this.

And as he travels, even if he comes by, everybody's supposed to bow down to the ground and everybody's supposed to give all this deference and honor like he really is somebody.
