Dictionary.com defines “fortress” as a place of exceptional security or a stronghold. I don’t know about you, but I find it comforting to know that the Lord provides me with a place of exceptional security.
That’s a place where I can feel safe, safe from harm, safe to be myself, safe to express myself. It’s a place where I can be unconditionally loved. Even, or especially, in times of trouble. That feels to me like a big, warm hug.
Thank you, Lord, for this reminder that you are there, in good times and in bad. Thank you for your unfailing protection, especially in times of trouble. Thank you for loving me in spite of me.
