The Name of the LORD is . . .
“The name of the LORD is a strong tower:”
Proverbs 18:10
When I read this verse a while ago it struck me as a picture…
So I tried to draw the picture… The name of the LORD is a strong tower.
I’m not too sure about my drawing abilities, and I’m not too sure whether anyone could tell that is a tower… but as I was thinking, and drawing, I realized the tower, the strong tower of the name of the LORD could get higher and higher… There are a lot of names that our LORD has. Proper names, like we see here, but also names that describe Him. The truth is that the name of the LORD is a strong tower and as a tower it CAN just get higher and higher. I suppose it would reach up to heaven… And I suppose there is a good point with that - “If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” John 14:14
But for now – this is what I needed to know the day I read this verse: The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
Do I really believe that? When was the last time I ran to the tower, that is the name of the LORD and found that I was safe? Honestly? Not very long go actually, and I found it to be true… The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
