Ps. 18:2
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
Built over seventy-eight years ago, Fort Knox Gold Depository protects America’s most valuable resource. Being the worlds most secure facility, it required over 17,000 feet of granite, 4,500 yards of concrete, 775 tons of reinforced steel and 700 tons of structural steel with a vault door twenty-one inches thick and weighing twenty tons. The compound has an army consisting of an aviation unit of armed Apache helicopters, one engineer battalion, a brigade, and a division totaling thirty-thousand soldiers. No one enters without the proper credentials.
There are those who would love to penetrate the walls of Fort Knox and get their hands on the precious metal housed in the facility. The only problem with that is it would require an army and a caravan of vehicles to make it happen. Because of its construction and safeguards, no one has ever attempted that feat since its construction.
Like Fort Knox, we have a fortress that the enemy can not penetrate. Our building (this body) sits on a solid foundation, fortified by God, and protected by a host around us making it impossible for the enemy to enter. He may attack from every angle, try to gain access through false pretense, and even bombard us; but his attempts are futile. We will overcome through Jesus Christ, the Saviour of our soul. So don’t lose hope, we have something better than Fort Knox.

“Where does your security lie? Is God your refuge, your hiding place, your stronghold, your shepherd, your counselor, your friend, your redeemer, your Saviour, your guide? If He is, you don’t need to search any further for security.”
