"The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runs into it and is safe." -Proverbs 18:10 (NASB)
Near my home is a wildlife management area where I like to hike. One of the trails will take you to the "fire tower." After climbing the stairs of the tower, the view looks out over the trees and surrounding towns. The view from the top of the tower is amazing!
When listening to the name of God described as a strong tower, we may think of a tall, sturdy skyscraper that can shelter and protect us from elements such as wind, rain or snow, heat or cold, and other things. Climbing the fire tower out in the open can give a different perspective. God's view stretches much further than anything we could see on a clear day at the top of the fire tower. When we run to the tower that is our Lord, He can raise us up and allow us to see what is surrounding us. We may still feel the elements that are pushing against us, but, through prayer, accepting His knowledge, and with His support, we can prepare for what we are facing and be reassured of our safety!
Climb the tower of God and allow Him to prepare you for what is to come and to keep you safe!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being a strong tower in my life. Please help me to remember to run to and climb the tower that will allow me to grow in knowledge and prepare me so that I can be safe. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
