Long ago, fortresses were built to protect rulers from enemy attacks. The key to a good fortress was the ability to see your enemy coming for miles away so that you could prepare a strategy for attack. The fortress itself would often be designed to withstand hundreds of warriors, cannons, slings, arrows, even fire. Fortresses were designed to make the inhabitants feel safe and secure.
The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
(Psalm 46:7)
God gives us a place of safety and security. He is our protector from the enemy.
When we truly reside in God's presence, we have time to prepare for the inevitable attacks from the world and from our own sinful nature. In His presence we learn how to make better choices so that we are able to fend off the slings and arrows thrown at us.
God is our mighty fortress. He protects us from all sides and keeps watch for us so that we might rest.
In His loving embrace, we fear no evil for God will always protect us.
He is the lone impenetrable fortress and in Him we find peace.
