LORD Sabaoth
The LORD of Hosts
Our Stronghold
by Charles H. Spurgeon
"The name of the Lord is a strong tower:
the righteous runs into it, and is safe." Proverbs 18:10
Strong towers were a greater security in a bygone
age than they are now. Then when troops of marauders invaded the land,
strong castles were set upon the various hill-tops, and the inhabitants
gathered up their little wealth and fled thither at once.
Castles
were looked upon as being very difficult places for attack; and ancient
troops would rather fight a hundred battles than endure a single siege.
Towns which would be taken by modern artillery in twelve hours, held
out for twelve years against the most potent forces of the ancient
times.
He that possessed a castle was lord of
all the region round about, and made their inhabitants either his
clients who sought his protection, or his dependents whom he ruled at
will.
He who owned a strong tower, felt however potent might be his adversary, his walls and bulwarks would be his sure’ salvation.
