At a particularly tumultuous time in my life, Aaron Shust’s song ‘Mighty Fortress’ became a vivid reminder to me of who God is compared to how I often think He is and was the lifeline which held me up when I felt I was sinking under the weight ot doubt and uncertainty.
‘He won’t abandon,
He won’t deceive.
He won’t desert us,
He won’t ever leave.
He’ll never forsake us,
He’ll never run.
He’ll never reject us,
The faithful one.
Your love will remain
Your love will remain.’ (‘Mighty Fortress’, Aaron Shust)
The reminder that God will not forsake us (Heb 13:5) is something which acts like a buoy to our faith when we may well feel we are drowning in stormy waters. He holds us up and carries us through the storms. No matter what other people may do, God is the one sure certainty in life.
