God’s fortress is the embrace which draw us close to Himself. You and I are not alone on this earth. God is with us. He surrounds us with Himself whenever we feel like we need protection. Our comfort comes from the security that God is able to give us. This comes through His word, like Psalm 23, which we speak over ourselves when we are in trouble. His embrace comes through people that the Holy Spirit leads to us to help us in our times of distress. Also, David and Cynthia have taught us to recite the Apostles Creed out loud when we feel insecure. And it may be we will sing a hymn. “Children of the Heavenly Father, safely in His bosom gather, nestling bird nor star in heaven, such a refuge e’er was given.”
Whoever fears the LORD has a secure fortress.
Proverbs 14:26 NIV
The one who was born of God protects them, and the evil one does not touch them.
1 John 5:18
Jesus, thank you for holding me in your loving embrace. Sin lurks at the door and the evil one knocks with temptation, but in your presence, evil is silenced by your love and grace. Strengthen me to resist sin and renew my heart to live as a beloved child of God. Today, I open myself to your liberating love. Amen.
