Travel down the Rhine River in Germany, and you will see castles, castles, castles. The ones on the riverbank collected tolls from passing ships. The ones perched above provided a fortified safe haven. An advancing enemy would be sitting ducks as they tried to scale the rocky cliffs. Stone walls and moats bolstered the protection for those within the fortress.
God is our safe haven. God wants us to run to him when the enemy attacks, not mount our own fight. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”(John 10:10)
We can try to fight the battle, but we will never have God’s abundant life until we put our faith and trust in Him. “God is our mighty fortress, always ready to help in times of trouble.”(Psalm 46:1) Run to the high place and safety.
IT'S A HARnDen LIFE...
