    1. It is terrifying because it means laying down our own way.
    2. It is terrifying because it means that we break with the rebels camp.
    3. It is terrifying because to take refuge in the King is to admit that we are rebels who deserve wrath and fury.

Charles Spurgeon
Are the bands of Omnipotence like green twigs before you?

Bob Dylan
Of every earthly plan that be known to man, He is unconcerned
He’s got plans of His own to set up His throne
When He returns

Acts 13:33 (ESV)
this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm,
‘You are my Son, today I have begotten you.’

Ephesians 1:7–10 (ESV)
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

John Piper
The only safe place from the wrath of God is in God. Everywhere outside of his care is dangerous. He is the only hiding place from his own wrath. If you see him as frightening and try to run away and hide, you will not find a place to hide. There is none. Outside of God’s care there is only wrath. But there is a refuge from the wrath of God, namely, God. The safest place from the wrath of God—the only safe place—is God. Come to God. Take refuge in God. Hide in the shadow of his wings. This is where we live and serve with joyful trembling. It is terrible and it is wonderful. It is like the eye of a hurricane—terror all around, and totally beautiful and calm. Here there is sweet fellowship. Here is quiet, loving communion. Here we speak to him as to a friend. Here he ministers to our deepest needs. I invite you to come.
