Running to the Strong Tower

Proverbs 18:10:
“The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.”

A tower in the ancient world wasn’t decorative …it was defense, a place you fled to when the enemy was at the gate. Solomon says God’s own name functions this way: not a slogan, but a literal refuge you can run into.
The verb matters … “runneth.” Not strolls, not eventually gets around to it, but runs, urgently, the way you’d run from real danger. When anxiety or trouble hits today, where do you instinctively run first …. to distraction, to worry, to control? Practice running to Him instead.

Prayer: God, be my strong tower today. When trouble comes, let my first instinct be to run to You. Amen.
