For you are my high fortress, where I’m kept safe.
You are to me a stronghold of salvation.
When you deliver me out of this peril,
it will bring glory to your name.
As you guide me forth I’ll be kept safe
from the hidden snares of the enemy—
the secret traps that lie before me—
for you have become my rock of strength. Psalm 31: 3-4 TPT
Oh, how much I have discovered about hidden snares and secret traps! Thankfully, the Lord sees all and is so gentle in guiding and leading me despite those. I notice that any time I feel “peril” …if I remind myself, even out loud, that He is my fortress, my stronghold, and that He will deliver me, I feel instantly better.
Why does it take 9 (or more!) times for me to get this into me? Because they are “hidden snares” and “secret traps” and sometimes I don’t see that. When I do, the lightbulb goes on and I see what’s up.
Oh, how glad I am that HE is the rock of strength for me!
