Our scripture today is Proverbs 18:10 (NIV).
The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
The Bible Knowledge Commentary titles this proverb and the one following “true and false security”. Counting on money, connections or earthly control is very definitely false security. None of this can save us. We know that only God’s mercy and forgiveness lead to the security of eternal life. When we put our trust in the name of the Lord, we are truly protected.
Gracious God, even when we turned away, You kept Your promise. Forgive us and bless us to be the disciples of today, sharing the the Good News everywhere. Amen.
