A fortress is
- a large fortified place; a fort or group of forts, often including a town; a citadel.
- any place of exceptional security; a stronghold.
The word fortress these days has changed to include strongholds in a more figurative sense – Martin Luther used the word ‘fortress’ to describe unfailing spiritual support when he wrote, “A mighty fortress is our God.”
Martin Luther was right though wasn’t he? God is our fortress because he is our strength in times of trouble, our rock, and our never-failing friend. He is our fortress, our strength, our God.
