Our True Safety

The Name of the LORD is a strong fortress (tower); the godly run to Him and are safe.
Proverbs 18:10 (NLT)
 
The Name of the LORD is a strong tower.  We can run to God and find safety and strength. With God, we find everything, including knowledge and wisdom. Most important, we can totally depend on God for our needs and protection. People like King Solomon and King David realized true safety, wisdom, and victory come with humility and complete trust in God and not from human pride and human trust (see Psalm 20; Proverbs 3:7; Proverbs 15:33). In God, we find all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3). Sadly, the wealthy may believe their wealth is a strong defense, but the power of money is limited (Proverbs 11:4; Proverbs 13:8).  Only God is our true safety and fortress!
