The Lord, Our Stronghold

Is God your stronghold? Text: Nahum 1:7 'The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble and He knows those who trust in Him.' A stronghold is a defensive structure, a place that is strongly built and difficult to attack. It is a very high and impressive place that is inaccessible. In First Samuel chapter 22 verse 1-5, we see David in the cave of Adullam as he continued to run away from King Saul. Also, his parents as well as those that had different forms of challenges came to seek refuge and protection there with him and they were safe. As long as we are in the world, there will always be dangers and threats of dangers around us. From the text above, we see that God provides safety for all those who trust in Him. Prophet Zachariah describes Him as a wall of fire around His people (Zach 2:5). This means that we are constantly covered and that whatever tries to harm us faces destruction. In Him, no evil can overcome us. In the face of different attacks, threats from the enemy and the rising number of those affected by the pandemic, let us not forget who we have come to believe. He is our defense from every form of attack. He is able to keep all( our lives, career, business, marriage, finances, health, etc.) that we have committed into His hands to the end. May He continually be for us a refuge from every storm and a shade from the heat of this world.
