OUR MASADA

Thursday, April 10, 2008

One of the most exciting things I did in the "Holy Land" was to visit Masada. Masada was the desert fortress of Herod the Great. Rising thirteen hundred feet in the dry, desert air, this rugged, flat-topped mountain faces the western shore of the Dead Sea. We get the word Masada from a Hebrew word for fortress.

Our Masada or fortress is our intimacy with the Lord. He is our place of refuge. Intimacy with Jesus is our source of strength.

Don’t wait for the time of trouble before building your fortress. Build your Masada today—before the upheaval comes. If you don’t do it before the storm there won’t be a fortress to run to when you need it.

Masadas are not built in times of trouble.

Draw close to the Lord today!
