GOD AS FORTRESS

Lois Rae Carlson

Understanding God as a fortress means that He protects from harm, disease, or death.

Medieval castles have thick walls, an assured water supply, and a place for storing food as well as for normal family life. In the middle of illness or pain, however, sometimes nothing feels normal; life's routine is disrupted. But the feeling of God's enveloping you in His love is like being secured in a fortress with all the resources needed for safety and progress at hand.
