High in the mountains along the border between France and Spain are a line of fortresses, a reminder of days when relations between the Spanish and Portuguese were not as amicable as they are now. Europe has many hill-top forts. How wonderful that the Lord's people have for themselves a "mighty fortress" to shield them from every foe.
Where we crossed into Portugal was at such a fortress, called Marvao. It was a spectacular place and has been restored so beautifully and creatively. The town, too, was so picturesque. Come on up with us!!

God is our refuge and strength, a very present hep in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be removed, and the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be removed, and the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.
...Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.....
Psalm 46
