A Stronghold
A Stronghold
by Max Lucado What is that one weakness you have, that bad habit, or rotten attitude? Where does Satan have a stronghold within you? It’s a fitting word—stronghold: a fortress, thick walls, tall gates. It’s as if the devil staked a claim on one weakness and constructed a rampart around it—placing himself squarely between God’s help and your. . .explosive temper; fragile self-image; freezer-size appetite; or distrust for authority. Stronghold. Seasons come and go, and this Loch Ness monster still lurks in the water-bottom of your soul. He won’t go away! He lives up to both sides of his compound name: strong enough to grip like a vise and stubborn enough to hold on. Remember Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 10:4, “We use mighty weapons, not mere worldly weapons, to knock down the devil’s strongholds.” You and I fight with toothpicks but God comes with battering rams and cannons! So give your strongholds to God and He will break them down! from Facing Your Giants |
WOW! Strong message about trust, faith and surrender
