Series: STRONGHOLDS
A stronghold is a place with restricted access. It is a place of protection or it can be a place where we can hide. Many times, in this world, we have built strongholds for both good and bad reasons. We tend to hide some of our worst habits and beliefs behind walls of strength to protect them from the light of truth. We tend to protect our prejudices behind carefully constructed walls of stubbornness and rebellion. We don’t want others to have access to our thoughts or actions that have not been made public.
Thankfully, we have a Savior Who is our stronghold. His light shines truth into our lives. We can run to Him and know that He already knows all our secrets, rebellious thoughts, and bad habits. He knows our hearts. He knows our fears and failures. He loved us from before time began. We can feel safe running to Him with confessions and know we will be helped and forgiven.  There is nothing we can’t tell Him. He already knows.
