When You Want to Run Away, Run Here

Do you ever want to run away from your circumstances, the world’s evils, or perhaps your own wayward thoughts? If so, go to God, who David likens to 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 wrote these 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.”

Is God your stronghold? If so, you are well aware that He wants you to come to Him. You are well aware that you can leave your fears, Satan’s lies, and your waywardness and go to the Lord as your stronghold.

Do you have a story of a time when you sought God as your stronghold; you retreated to Him in prayer? Or perhaps you took refuge in His promises in the Bible and by doing so, He kept you spiritually, mentally, and emotionally safe?

If so, look for ways to share your testimony with others and how God was there for you. It may be the very way God wants to use you today. 

Heavenly Father, thank You for being my STRONGHOLD. Thank You that I can scale the heights of heaven and Your Word and find renewed strength in Your presence. Open my eyes and ears to someone with whom I can share the good news about You.
