We are waking up to a differrent type of Sunday. Social distancing is becoming a reality, because the virus is a reality. We exponentially slightly behind the rest of the world and taking the appropriate steps to halt the disease. We had a case uptown that has probably triggered community spread.
Do not take this lightly, but understand what we are about to meditate upon is very true:
Psalm 59:16
But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me a fortress
and a refuge in the day of my distress.
For you have been to me a fortress
and a refuge in the day of my distress.
God is both our high tower of strength and our place of retreat.
Castles were designed with two sections. The outer walled section from which the battle was initially fraught and an impenetrable inner core called the “Keep” to which retreat could be made.
What do you think was at the bottom of the Keep? It was the castle’s well. A castle would fall if the water source failed. A simple technique to capture a castle was to poison the surrounding water. Only a castle with a deep well survived.
Today, dig your well deeper. Because there will be days when kinks in your armor will let Satan’s arrows through. And retreat will be necesssary.
