The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous runs
into it and are safe. Proverbs 18:10
Outside our subdivision are eight very tall towers. They are
used for telecommunication. They are like tall beacons in the night, with continual
blinking lights, soaring around 2000 feet high. I told my four year old
granddaughter once, when she and her family were going to live with us for a
while, “You can always tell where home is, by looking for those towers.”
When I travel to the city and am in a high rise building, I
search for those towers. When I fly in a plane, I look out the window for those
towers. Early in the morning when I sit on my back porch I can see one of the
towers. In a storm, you can hear the towers whistle as the wind blows through
the iron work.
I am constantly drawn to tall things, mountains, high rise
buildings, and tall people. I think the reason why, is because I am short. When
I am in a big crowd, I feel claustrophobic. The air down low is stifling, the
view is terrible, and there is a feeling of being pressed in and trampled upon.
I often think, if I could just get a little higher, I would feel much better.
The Lord is a strong tower. He represents a place that is
high, where we can see the future. We know what the Lord plans for us; to help
us. We also know His plans to come again, and set up His kingdom here on a new
earth; a time that Christians looks forward to with great expectation.
The Lord is strong tower. We feel drawn to the safety we
find in Him. We want to run to Him. We know in Him lies a safe haven of rest
and security; a home of love with our Heavenly Father. We will be gathered
together, brothers and sisters in Christ, under His wing.
The Lord is a strong tower. He is the highest of all highs. On
God’s shoulders we feel on top of the world. The air moves and the view is
wonderful. When we travel on His shoulders, we don’t have to worry about the
path ahead of us, because His path is the way of righteousness.
The Lord is a strong tower. Just like the wind blowing
through the towers near my home, producing a musical tone, God’s Holy Spirit
whispers His sweet tones of love in our ears. He guides, guards and directs us
with His voice.
It is nice to be up high where you can see ahead, feel the
fresh breath of the Holy Spirit, be on the right path, and feel safe and secure.
Like I told my granddaughter, “You can always know where home is, when you look
for those towers.”
The Lord is a strong tower. When we keep our focus on Him,
we will always be home.
Dearest Lord,
Thank you for being our strong tower. We run to you!
Amen
