false fortifications

"Each day we either live for God or for other gods. When we choose to worship gods and fear men our lives will suffer an emptiness and turmoil that is not much different than trying to fill our bellies with dirt. At first we may feel full, but in short order our violation...will lead to torment." -Dan Allender

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it an unscalable wall. Proverbs 18:10-11

When I trust myself, I fool myself safe. When I run to the One who is higher than I, there is protection unscalable.
