For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. Psalm 61:3

A tower is a wonderful thing. You can go up and look out at a distance. You can see things you’d never be able to see if you were on the ground. Plus it has the added advantage of protecting you from whatever approaches. If the enemy wanted to get to you, they’d have to break down the fortress door first, and then scale the tower.

David uses this story-picture to illustrate a similar point. When we seek the Lord as our refuge, He is a mighty tower. The arrows and spears the enemy throws at us fall short.

Today, as you go about your day, rest in that knowledge. It’s simple truth that can really comfort your soul.
