Strong Tower
From A Promise and a Prayer
Psalm 91:14-15 "Because he loves me," says the LORD , "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him."
Proverbs 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
What do you do when you find yourself in circumstances that threaten to overwhelm you? When we find ourselves gripped with fear or worry in the night, agonizing over a wayward child, thrown off course by tension in the home, plowed under by discouragement, or immobilized by a voice that says, "Who are you to attempt great things for God?"
These verses give us a clue and a strong promise. When overwhelmed, He is your only safe place. Camp out on these promises, call on His name, and watch for either a change in your attitude or your perception of the circumstances.
Child of God, these promises, give us firm footing and the assurance that we have coverage - in the Lord Jesus Christ. So... cling to these promises. God our Father, would have us learn to call more quickly on the name of the Lord for help.
___________
1 Chronicles 16:8 Give thanks to the LORD , call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done.
Lord, help each of us acknowledge Your name. Thank You that as we do this and call on Your name, You will answer us, You will be with us in trouble and deliver us -- because we love You. Glory be to God! Let us share what You have done for us.
Strong Tower
Newsboys
Strong and mighty -- Strong to save us
Like a fortress -- Never failing
Strong in battle -- Strong in kindness
When we stray, Lord -- You're strong to find us
When the winds come hard against us
You are steadfast, You are true
When the ground beneath us trembles
Your foundation never moves
Strong tower -- High and glorious
Strong tower -- Mightly in love
Our refuge -- Our defender
Strong tower -- Lord above
Strong to lead us -- Through the shadows
Strong to carry -- All our sorrows
When the enemy surrounds us
Closing in as darkness falls
Though his armies rage against us
They can never scale these walls
Your are my shelter, my shield
You are the home I could never deserve
Here I will serve, ever under Your gaze
Here I will serve, ever singing Your praise
