2 Samuel 5:7-9

⁷Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).

⁸On that day he said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites must use the water shaft to reach the lame and blind who are despised by David.” That is why it is said, “The blind and the lame will never enter the palace.”

⁹So David took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built it up all the way around, from the supporting terraces inward.

Strongholds

Article by Max Lucado

Where does the Loch Ness monster of your soul dwell? Max Lucado reminds us of what we don't want others to know about us and we don't want to admit ourselves -- we have strongholds that require drastic action to tear down and we have to invite God into every area of our lives for that to happen.
