God is Good, God is Faithful, God is a Strong Tower for me and for you!! 

The verse we received for this week was “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runs to it and is safe and set on high (far above evil)”, found in Proverbs 18:10.  When God gives us/me a verse for the week, it means that I will need it; it is quite possible that I will face danger, so let’s prepare myself.  So, I select few words that I will easily remember and go back to it quickly when needed for protection.  The two words I chose were “Strong Tower’‘.

What is a Strong Tower?

It means a lot: solid refuge, secure, a great place to be i.e. with God and in peace.
No disturbance, no shaking, all is good, no worries, it can shake all around me, but with my “Strong Tower,” all things are steady. I even dream of a future full of God’s promises!!

Above circumstances - Strong Tower! Furthermore,  since it’s a tower, it means that it’s really high,  I am above events, circumstances that may try to push me down.

It also means that I am protected. If circumstances like thoughts try to distract me, I go back to my “motto” right away, the ”Strong Tower”, which sets me so high that I am FAR above evil.

This is great!!  So this was my “motto” this week is  “Strong Tower”.  God is Good, God is Faithful, God is a Strong Tower for me and for you!!
