My Fortress II

Jola Speaks

2 Samuel 22:2 says, "The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer." This verse beautifully conveys the protection and strength that God provides to those who trust in Him. Let's expand on how God serves as a safe haven, an unshakable place of refuge in the storms of life.
A fortress is a stronghold, built to protect and shield from attacks. In the same way, God acts as a spiritual fortress, surrounding us with His presence and safeguarding us from both external challenges and internal fears. Just as a fortress provides security, God's presence offers peace, assurance, and a sense of safety amidst life's uncertainties.
When we rely on Him as our fortress:
We are Secure: No matter how fierce the storms or how strong the opposition, being in God’s fortress means we are in a place of ultimate security. His walls are impenetrable.
We Find Rest: In times of trouble, a fortress isn't just about defense but also about peace. Within its walls, there is rest from the battles that rage outside. With God, we can rest in His promises, knowing He holds us firm.
We Gain Strength: God’s fortress is not just a place to hide but a source of renewed strength. He gives us the resilience and spiritual fortitude to continue, knowing we are not standing alone.
We Have Hope: A fortress stands tall and enduring, and in God, we find hope because He is eternal and unchanging. No matter the circumstances, we can hold on to hope in His protection.
This fortress is built on the foundation of God’s love, power, and faithfulness. When life feels overwhelming, God’s fortress stands as a reminder that we are never without protection, never without a place of peace, and never without hope.
