USPA NEWS - “˜The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. Proverbs 18:10´

Run to Him! There is no help anywhere else. Run to Him by prayer. Run to Him believing. Run to Him in faith. Run to Him now!
When you are afraid, what kind of a tower do you want for protection and safety? The LORD is a strong tower in fearful times. You can run into it and be safe, whenever you need it. Nothing can breach it. His name is the LORD, and there is no other place for such protection from danger. Lay hold of this proverb by faith; it will save your life.

It is not merely the LORD´s name that is a strong tower, for His name has no magical properties for wicked men.
It is the God by Whose name men know Him that is meant. It is the LORD Himself, with all His glorious attributes and perfections, that is meant. He is the living and true God, Creator of heaven and earth, Father of the fatherless, and Judge of the widow. Yes, it is that God. His name is the LORD. Do you know Him well?

How strong is the tower? Trust ye in the LORD forever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength (Is 26:3-4)! Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob knew Him as the Almighty God, but He revealed Himself further to Moses (Ex 6:3). Hagar named Him, “Thou God seest me“ (Gen 16:13). “A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation“ (Ps 68:5). None have ever been lost who put their trust in Him!
Let David be your example. Call upon the LORD in your troubles, and let Him rescue you (Ps 18:1-6). He was David´s rock, fortress, deliverer, God, strength, buckler, horn, and high tower (Ps 18:2). David said, “I will love thee, O LORD, my strength“ (Ps 18:1).

He rescues the righteous like this: “Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies“ (Ps 18:7-11). Do you know this glorious God? Do you delight and trust in Him?

When a Christian closes his prayers to God “in Jesus name,“ he invokes the highest name in the universe (Phil 2:9-11). For you are using the name that means the LORD Jehovah is salvation (Matt 1:21). Now that is a strong tower! You will be safe in it!
Dear reader, you know the LORD. He is your strong tower. He will save you from any and every danger. “Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah“ (Ps 62:8). “The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them“ (Ps 34:7).

Run to Him! There is no help anywhere else. Run to Him by prayer. Run to Him believing. Run to Him in faith. Run to Him now! He will deliver you from all your enemies and troubles in this life and life in the world to come. Run to Him, ye righteous!
But do not run to Him with unconfessed sin, for He will turn you away (Pr 15:8,29; 28:9; Ps 66:18; Is 1:15; Jas 4:3). God is not mocked by such profane prayers or worship; if you have rejected His warnings, He will laugh at your calamity (Pr 1:20-32). He is holy.
