The sturdiest building made by man can be taken down by war or destroyed by a powerful hurricane. Those who rely on their own strength—whether it’s their money, their power, their connections, or anything else—they are standing behind a flimsy wall, nothing more than a prop from a movie. They fool themselves into thinking they’re protected, but they’re not. In today’s devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef leads us to remember our only secure protection—the name of the Lord.
