The Lord is our safe room

Safe Room


The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. —
Proverbs 18:10



In some homes, owners have built safe rooms — special places where they can go for protection should someone break into the house.

In Proverbs 18:10, Solomon reminded God’s people that God is their “safe room” and that they could find total security in Him.

In verses 10 and 11, he described two types of security to which some people run: the name of the Lord and wealth. The name or character of God is described as a “strong tower.” As a captured city might take refuge in a fortified tower, so the righteous could run to the Lord and find complete safety.

On the other hand, the wealthy imagined their riches as a high point of safety. Solomon sought to tell his readers that money might give a sense of security but it would be a false security that could lead to laziness, pride, and destruction. Yet people who are humble and find their complete security in the unchanging and holy character of God will find true safety.

Wealth may not be your particular “safe room.” You might tend to run instead to something or someone else when adversity comes. But we all need to learn to depend daily on the Lord and find a high point of safety in the safe room of His name. — Marvin Williams

It’s often easier to trust
In what our eyes can see,
But God asks us to look to Him
For our security. — Sper

The name of the Lord is our safe room.
