God is our fortress

Be Still . . .
Devotionals for Daily Living ^©

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
Selah
(Psalms 62:5-8 (NIV))

When the earth quakes and the waves roll, trust in God!

When the rain falls and the mud slides, trust in God!

When the enemy surrounds you on all sides, trust in God!

Nothing of this earth is trustworthy. All will eventually fall apart or turn to dust. Only one thing is eternal. Only one thing is worthy of our trust. God alone is worthy. God alone can be trusted to deliver us through whatever the world may throw at us. God is so willing to be our ever present help in times of trouble that He has sent His only Son, Jesus Christ to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Jesus is the hope that God gives us made flesh.

God is our fortress. He is our safe haven. Jesus is the only door by which we may enter.

Have you found the door?
