"He is just a breath away"

“A Mighty Fortress is our God,” written by Martin Luther, is a great hymn which recognizes the

power of God unto each man whenever there is trouble being encountered. The assurance of such

person being with the mighty God will give him or her confidence despite circumstances. The lyrics

speaks of who God is and what can He do into our lives. There are many events in life that seem to be

 without solution, we thought that God is not around helping each man in his or her trouble. As I

reflected on the lyrics, I could only imagine that man in his life faces a lot of troubles or difficulties

but the author assures us that God is always there. If we are to know the events happened in the life

of the writer, we can find out that the author faced huge and lots of difficulties for the author was

fighting for the faith that he had in Christ Jesus and standing for it despite oppositions. As I imagined

this the author was so depressed, helpless, alone, and discouraged yet one thing that reminded Him

that he had Jesus on his side. Jesus is his fortress, helper, strength, confidence and of comfort. The

author recognizes the difficulties and the hurt that it can give to such person. He recognizes the effect

and the damage it can give as well as reason to give up but he said it's not about us but it's about God

as our mighty fortress.

I love the song for it reminds me about my confidence in Jesus Christ. It reminds me that

though things may have gone wrong and bad, people may not stay, and things may not go well; I still

have my savior with me for He is my refuge and strength in times of trouble. There are times in my

life that I lost confidence, power, reason to live and love because of circumstances but everything

changes when I saw God's hand working in me through that and understand why he allows things. It

changes my mindset about life, love and future that no matter what happens God never changes, God

never stops dealing with me, He never stops reaching me, helped me and construct me into a person

he wanted me to be. He is still the fortress, confidence, strength and the comfort whatever trials and

difficulties I may have.

Some People differ in obstacles, differ on how to cope up with many things, differ in how to

deal situation but we have to remember that there is only one who can help us solve everything, it is

only Jesus. Apart from Jesus Christ we can't do it. I don't know what obstacles you are in right now

but I hope you will find your confidence in Jesus because in Him we can be victorious and conqueror.
