Stronghold

continuing from the last post...

"there" is anywhere, anyone, or any place that leads me away from Him. fill in your own blank - the world, sin, old behaviors, old thought processes...

the Lord has been very faithful lately to break down some serious strongholds in my life... stupid things that have become stumbling blocks over time. He has also been very faithful to bring even the really hard ones to my attention - and to let me suffer through them until i decide enough is enough and allow Him to break them for me, once and for all.

i will seek You, Lord
while i am in my youth,
i will serve You, Lord
and i'll proclaim Your truth,
for you searched and found me
while i was far away,
and in my troubled times
You always keep me safe.

the Lord is my light and my salvation,
whom shall i fear, whom shall i fear?
the Lord is the Stronghold of my life,
whom shall i fear? whom shall i fear?

i know that You are for me,
i praise You 'cause You're for me.
