Do you ever want to run away from evil or perhaps your own wayward thoughts? If so, go to God, who David likens as a STRONGHOLD. In Biblical times, a stronghold was a high place, a place of retreat, and for many years, it was David’s safe house. In 2 Samuel 22:3, after the Lord saved him from Saul, David likens God to a STRONGHOLD. Listen to his words of praise, “My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, My shield and the horn of my salvation, my STRONGHOLD and my refuge.” Do we know God as our stronghold? If not, He invites us to come to Him. He is high and lifted up. We can flee our fears, wayward thoughts, and enemy darts and retreat to Him in prayer.
Lord God, we praise You, our STRONGHOLD. Thank You that no matter the time, we can retreat into Your presence.
