Proverbs 18:10 – “The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.”
On Friday I received some news from a dear
friend that devastated by soul and tried to take the joy from my spirit. After a tearful emotional first response, I
gathered my praise armor and went to battle to fight for my joy so that I could
be a faithful and strong support to my friend.
I never lost my fire but the devil tried to use the flood of my own
tears to drown out my flame. After a
great praise session and realizing that distractions can come in all forms; I
am standing firm with my friend and on full burn.
Scripture tells us that there is power in
the name of JESUS. The very name of our Lord is a strong tower, a place of
refuge, a stronghold, a fortress. When things around you are chaotic and spiraling
out of control; and it seems like all that you have ‘up’ is coming ‘down’ –
call on the name of JESUS and run into his safety. Don’t sweat the small stuff (and to our BIG
GOD, everything is small stuff). Call on
the Lord Most High, trust, believe and receive the gift of peace.
Whatever is going on this week, know
that God has a rescue tower with the light blinking brightly –JESUS, JESUS,
JESUS! And all are welcome. Notice that
the scripture text says that the righteous RUN in and are safe. Don’t hesitate; don’t be ashamed or
second-guessing. Break free from
whatever is trying to frustrate you by attempting to steal or kill your dream
or destroy your livelihood. Throw down
anything (or anyone) that might weigh you down and run and don’t look
back. Jesus waits with open arms. Every day is a good day; it is up to us to
make it a GREAT day! Be blessed! Dr.
