A mighty fortress is our God
A sword and shield victorious
He breaks the cruel oppressor's rod
And wins salvation glorious
The old satanic foe
Has sworn to work us woe
With craft and dreadful might
He arms himself to fight
On earth he has no equal
“
In you, O Lord, do I seek refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me! Incline your ear to me, rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me! ”
Forts. Some kids build them for make believe. Some are built for outdoor snowball fun. Some are built for kids' personal space.
Fortresses are built and established and maintained for security purposes. They are a safe place. Fortresses provide a strategic way to confront and defend one's self against the enemy. Fortresses also provide protection in the midst of uncertainty.
No one can give all their energy all the time. We all wear down. Even our faith can wear down. When we feel weak, let us trust The One who keeps his heart on us, inclines his ear to us, and rescues us speedily! This One who keeps his heart on us, This One, The Christ, is our refuge, our strength, our security, our rock, our shield, our Deliverer, our power, our Savior, our Mighty Fortress!
Let us pray: Jesus today I pray for your power and protection. I easily become weak and I need a safe place to be secure and to gain strength. You are my fortress. You are not make believe. Your power is real, and in you I am secure and I rejoice. You are my personal fortress. I trust with new certainty, you keep your heart on me. I have enough power to take on every enemy, to be at peace, to find refuge, to believe I am forever secure and saved. In Jesus Christ, my Rock and my Fortress, I pray. Amen.
