Proverbs 18:10

In the Bible, a strong tower was a central place within a city to which people could run when threatened by their enemies. The tower would become their place of refuge and safety. As Christians, we are constantly fighting a spiritual battle against Satan and his demons. When Satan attacks, God is our refuge and strength. He is a helper who is always found in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1).

But in Proverbs 18:10, Solomon wrote that the name of the Lord is a strong tower. The Hebrews found the name of God so holy and reverent that they would not speak His name so they used four consonants when writing “Lord” – the letters JHVH. When the King James Version was translated, they added vowels from two other Hebrew names of God: Elohim and Adonai so that we get the word, Jehovah. When you see “LORD” (in all caps) in your Bible, it means Jehovah, which is the name God gave to Himself when Moses asked, “Who shall I say sent me?” God replied, “I AM THAT I AM.” And it is in that name that we find our place of refuge. His name implies His character as the eternal, powerful, faithful, covenant keeping God and we can trust Him with every detail of our lives.

In Isaiah 26:3-5, we learn that we can trust in the LORD forever because He is everlasting strength. In Psalm 18:1-6, David tells us to call upon the LORD in your troubles and He will rescue us. To David, God was his rock, fortress, deliverer, God, strength, buckler, horn, and high tower. In Romans 8:31, Paul wrote, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” I don’t know about you, but when trouble comes knocking, I want the omnipotent-all powerful God to be on my side! The same God that spoke the universe into existence is in always in control. He is the same God who always works things out for my good. And He is the same God who has plans for me – plans to prosper me and not to harm me. The same God who calls me His child. This is the God that the righteous can run to and find safety when we call on him, rely upon him, and have faith in His promises.
