A refuge is a place safely out of harm's way. Fortress is a fortified building that is virtually impenetrable by conventional means.
Martin Luther wrote a wonderful hymn that says. "A mighty fortress is our God; a bulwark never falling. Our helper He admist the flood of mortal ills prevailling." What a statement about the magnificien powerand protection of God!
Does God care for me and you? Can we turn to Him in trust and faith when trouble and temtations threaten to overwhelm us? yes a thousand times yes! What greater proof do we need than that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die in our place?
Put your trust in Him HE will surely save you.
