Honor God as Uniquely Holy
Commentators explain that to 'sanctify the Lord' is not to make Him holy, but to recognize and honor His supreme holiness and power. Instead of fearing human armies or political alliances, the people were to exalt God as their only true source of safety. It is an active choice to treat God as sovereign over all circumstances.
