The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous runs to it and is safe and set on high [far above evil]. PROVERBS 18:10 AMP
There are many options, but then there is the name of the Lord. Men have built high fences and strong gates, yet life's storms have swept them away. It tells me that only in God are you truly safe.
That name is introduced to us as a strong tower. It symbolises a place of safety, protection, provision and guidance. A tower is usually higher than all its surroundings, so you can easily spot danger before it comes. In God, you get that same assurance.
A choice must then be made: the offer has been made, and is available, but I must run into it. Observe the class of people who run into it and are safe:The Righteous. Not those who are sure of themselves and confident in their man made schemes, but people who know who they are in God and are totally dependent on him for all. Others may call on him, and he will answer, but would you sacrifice eternal rest just for a few moments of emergency safety?
You are safe only in God. Nothing else will work and nothing else will do. His time of favour is here.
