God is our Mighty Fortress

 Life is a constant spiritual battle. Our enemy is always at work seeking ways to bring us great distress, discourage us and to make us weak and for us to lose our focus on God.
As I ponder upon the message of this song, I realize all the more that I am helpless without God. He is my best help in every moment and I need Him all the days of my life and I can't live without Him. This is a humbling truth that I need to always remember for God owns me and because of that, the enemy will also do all he can to destroy me. With this reason, I have to trust God and not on my own strength for He will fight for me and He will surely win the battle which I couldn't do myself. He is my Mighty Fortress!
The reality that I am living in this world filled with evil is an important truth that I need to face day by day. I should not take it lightly but bear in my heart and mind that I only have one enemy and that is the Prince of this World, the devil. I should not fear him for I have God and His word is my defense. I have to remind myself that I am already victorious in God and the devil is a defeated foe and his doom is sure. He will not win but be left behind helpless and powerless.

To sum up all of these things, I could say that God is a God of victory, He is our best help, He is trustworthy and He will reign forever. I have to hold on to these truths and continue to live a life pleasing to God, acknowledging always my need for Him through prayer and meditating His word. I need to soak my mind with God's word. I have to memorize Scriptures for that is my defense against the enemy. I should not listen to the negative things the enemy is telling me rather I should listen to what God is telling me in His word and speak that truth to myself which would help me draw more closely to God for His glory and not be easily deceived by the enemy. I have to be on guard always with God's help.
