“The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”
— Proverbs 18:10 (NIV)
Reflection on Today’s Verse
This verse from Proverbs paints a vivid picture of the Lord as a fortified tower—a place of safety and refuge. In ancient times, a fortified tower was a stronghold, a place where people could find protection from their enemies. Similarly, when we face challenges, uncertainties, or dangers in our lives, we can run to the Lord, knowing that He is our ultimate protector.
The righteous, those who trust in God and follow His ways, find safety in His name. This verse encourages us to call on the name of the Lord in times of trouble, trusting that He is our safe haven. God’s name represents His power, presence, and protection, assuring us that we are never alone or defenseless.
Personal Prayer

Thank You for being my fortified tower, my refuge, and my strength. In moments of fear or uncertainty, help me to run to You and find safety. I trust in Your protection and love, knowing that You are always there for me. Thank You for being my shield and my fortress. Amen.
