From ancient times to modern history, walls of protection were often built around a city to mark and enclose a settlement of people. These thick stone structures protected those who lived inside from invaders and outside threats.
How true is that for our own lives in the current culture? Do we have God as our fortress (Ps. 18:2)? Have we hidden His Word in our hearts to keep us from sin? (Psalm 119:11) Are we prepared for the fiery darts of Satan? (Ephesians 6:16)
It is everyone's desire to protect their automobiles, their homes, and their families. We have Lo-Jack, car alarms, home security systems, cameras, and even phone tracking devices. However, many have no spiritual walls of protection for their heart or soul. Many are at risk every day to be attacked with no defense.
Jesus is my Rock and my Fortress. I have to remember to arm myself with His armor daily. He is my greatest security! What about you? Are your walls of protection up?
