A
Mighty Fortress Lutheran Service Book #656
Psalm 46:1, 7, 11; Revelation 19:11-16;
Romans 8:31-39; Ephesians 6:10-17
A Mighty fortress is our God,
A trusty shield and weapon;
He helps us free from ev’ry need
That hath us now o’er taken
The old evil foe, Now means deadly woe;
Deep guile and great might
Are his dread arms in fight;
On earth is not his equal.
It is
Christ who give us peace in troubled times. Today is the first Sunday in the
season of Lent. We will read of Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness. (Matthew 4:1-11) As He withstood the wiles
of the devil, so He helps you in your struggles. He lived the perfect life for
you. He laid down His life and took it up again to win for you salvation and
life eternal. Christ your Savior and champion fights for you. It is only in Him
that you stand.
A Mighty
Fortress is our God! As you abide in Him all that would distress and harm you
melts away. His perfect peace, which only He can provide, gives you the
strength you need as you live for Him in this world. Christ, who has made you a
child of God your Father, bestowed on you the peace that passes all understanding.
God is your
refuge and our strength. Your ever-present help in times of trouble!
