The Lord is Our Fortress {Something to Think About}

The name of the Lord is a strong fortress;
the godly run to him and are safe.
(Proverbs 18:10 NLT)

fortress - a fortified place; a place of security or survival (Tyndale NLT Study Bible)

Where do you go when you are afraid, lonely, hurt, confused, weak, tired and weary, and ready to give up?

Run to the Lord where He provides shelter, comfort, and safety. He loves on us with compassion and gives us rest.

Spend time with God in prayer and in His Word where He guides us and gives us peace. There is nothing the Lord cannot handle. Let Him calm you from anxiety and fear, and strengthen you as only He can.

In Christ,
Laura

  1. Well, we used the same verse, but different translation and different photos. Yours is neat! Since I know the Lord laid it on me to do it, and you did, there must be people who will read our verses and have their hearts touched. How cool is that?

    1. Very cool! This verse touched me when I read it and I knew it was the one for today. I love to watch God bring several of us to the same verse or theme at the same time!
      Blessings,
