wizard of oz

It is written, the name of the Lord is a strong tower. The word in Hebrew for strong tower is oz. The name of the Lord is strong, it has a force to it, it gives boldness. The word also means security, and majestic. The name of God is majestic. Oz also means praise in Hebrew. This means there is a link between praise and strength.

Those who praise God become strong. When the Hebrew army went to war, they were strong because they praised God during the battle. Those who don't praise God and complain, are going to be weak. The secret of strength is not exercise, or will-power; for oz means both praise and strength. God's name is a strong tower.
