Sunday Message: Run to Him!

​

 

Proverbs 18:10 King James Version (KJV)

10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

 

Proverbs 18:10   The Message

10 God’s name is a place of protection—
   good people can run there and be safe.

 

This passage of scripture was written to emphasize that true security and refuge can only be found in God. 

Christian Believers should actively seek God’s  protection in times of trouble. 

This signifies actively seeking God's protection when faced with challenges. 

The name of the Lord 

• a Biblical expression for the whole character of God. 

• It is the name of the Lord that is our strong tower. 

• It is the place of safety which God promises to those who run to Him.

• refers to God's person and character.

 

The name of the Lord carries a reputation.

 

The Name of the Lord signifies all that God is in himself – His attributes, His love, His mercy, 

His power, and His knowledge; which allows man to regard Him as a sure Refuge. 

When the Lord proclaimed His name, He declared some of His most essential character traits. 

​

The following traits that directly relate to us include;

He is merciful to us, 

He is gracious to us, 

He is slow to anger against us. 

​

Because God is merciful and forgiving, we who are in the strong tower of His name are safe from His punishment for sin.

Because God is gracious, we who are in the strong tower of His name are safe from the hopeless task of trying to earn salvation or blessing.

Because God is slow to anger, we who are in the strong tower of His name are safe from God’s wrath destroying us.

Because God is abounding in steadfast love, we who are in the strong tower of His name are safe from God’s love deserting us. 

​

The name of the LORD is a “strong tower”. 

The name of the Lord is a “fortified tower”. 

The name of the Lord is a “strong fortress”. 

The name of the Lord is a “mighty tower”. 

The name of the Lord is a “tower of strength”. 

The name of the Lord is “great strength”.

 

Christian Believers, the name of the LORD is high and lifted up because his name is high above all other names. 

 

The name of the LORD that is a strong tower is high above our problems, providing all we need.

 

As we read the words of the text in Proverbs 18:10, 

"The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.”, we discover, that God is the safety of those who trust in Him. 

 

The safety that the name of the LORD provides is multi-faceted and trustworthy. 

 

By faith, we can rush to the name of the LORD and find safety at any time.

 

No matter what our challenges, 

No matter what our circumstances, 

No matter what our concerns, the LORD is our strong tower and He will save us! 

​

Yes, it is our God. His name is the LORD. 

​

Run to Him!  There is no help anywhere else. 

Run to Him by prayer. Run to Him believing. 

Run to Him in faith. Run to Him now! 

​

He will deliver us from all our enemies and troubles in this life. Run to Him, ye righteous! 

​

His name is the LORD. 

​

Lay hold of this proverb by faith for it will save your life.

​

The name of the Lord is a strong tower because it can safeguard us who call upon His name. 

​

The promise of salvation in the name of the Lord echoes in Romans 10:13… “ For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”.

​

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.       John 3:16 KJV
