The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
Proverbs 18:10 NKJV
Words used to describe a tower are: tall, high structure, stronghold, or something strong enough to hold things such as water or food. When you were little, and you heard stories about princes and princesses, kings and queens, cops and robbers, did you imagine a tower to be like that—strong. . . immovable. . .unshakable?
Like a tower that stands tall, and strong, from the ground up, God is a tower to our faith. When Jesus died on a tree and rose again, He became your strong tower as well. Everything that He did was enough to pay the penalty for your sins and empower you to live a life in Him. All you need to do is approach His thrown of grace. Hebrews 9:28 (GW) says: “Likewise, Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of humanity, and after that he will appear a second time. This time he will not deal with sin, but he will save those who eagerly wait for him.”
As you trust in Elohim—which is the plural form of El, meaning “strong one”—thank God and Jesus for what they have done for You. And trust that Christ is coming again for You.
Lord, when I need to trust You more, I want to run to You more. Thank You for being my refuge, my mighty tower of strength.
