Black letters on an illuminated white screen. The Bible verse of the Day on my phone app. Simple verse, powerful message:
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe. Proverbs 18:10
Paul tells us that one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess the name of Jesus. (Philippians 2:11) But, on the street today, it seems the average person either rolls their eyes or gets glassy-eyed if Jesus is mentioned. Some wrinkle their brows and just walk away.
Yet, He is our refuge. We can run into His arms and be held. He still calms storms – the ones that rage inside of us. When the world is shaking us up, we can dash to Him and He will give us something firm to hold onto during the tremors.
We can call on the name of Jesus in our prayers and watch the enemy flee with his hands over his ears.
We can whisper it in the dark, or shout it in praise with hands lifted.
There is truly power in His name.
Call on him, hear Him say, “Here- I AM.” Run into His arms of love- the one He stretched out on the cross for you.
What a beautiful day it will be when every knee bows at the name of Jesus. Thanks for that wonderful reminder today. Blessings!
