The Name of the Lord is a Strong Tower

Proverbs 18:10 AMP “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous runs to it and is safe and set on high [far above evil].”

As believers in Christ Jesus, one of the greatest defenses that we have in this world to help us fight against the devices of Satan is the name of the Lord. When we have a revelation of this truth it will be easy for us to understand the absolute security that we have in the Lord. The scripture assures us: “A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.” (Psalm 91:7 NIV). A strong tower that the Name of the Lord represents is set safely and securely high and it is too fortified for the enemy to have access to it. The fact that His name alone is a strong tower tells us that all we need to do is run to Him in times of trouble. The Bible informs us that Lord God Himself is our rock, our fortress, and our deliverer. In Him, we can take refuge because He is our shield of protection, our horn of salvation, and our stronghold (Psalm 18:2). Over and again, the Book of Psalms compares God to a high and strong tower of protection and a shelter where His people can safely hide. The Bible says God is our refuge and strength, a present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1), our hiding place (Psalm32:7), and a shelter in the time of storm (Isaiah 25:4). The threats of this world are real, but we do not stand against such threats alone. Our Heavenly Father stands with us, and in Him, we have everything we need to face such times and come out victorious! Let us reassure ourselves today that we have a Father in Heaven who is with us in all things.  Let us continue to walk by faith and not by sight; continue to pray without ceasing; and continue to live by God’s infinite wisdom.
