He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” (Psalm 91:1-2, ESV)
What a wonderful time we all had at the 2017 Women’s Retreat “Priceless”! God moved in
a mighty, mighty way! Sister Rhonda K. Holland delivered a timely word from the Lord. I
have been thinking on Psalm 91:2, and wanted to share with all my Mississippi sisters.
Throughout the Psalms (praise songs)
David refers to God as his fortress,
refuge, and strength. He faced many
physical and spiritual battles
throughout his life and saw firsthand
how God provides a strong fortress
regardless of what attacks us. In the
ancient world the fortress was often
walled off from the rest of the city,
supplied with food, water, and
ammunition where the people could
be protected and the city could be
defended. David knew that he did not need to fear, because in God he found a fortress
stronger than any attack this world could muster.
We all have our own fortresses that we run to when we face overwhelming circumstances.
These fortresses can take the shape of people or relationships. They can also be material
things in our lives that we think will bring happiness and take our minds off of our
problems. Like David, we should realize that the one true fortress we have is with the one
true God. This fortress will always protect and never let down.
