Run to Him!

The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. (Proverbs 18:10)

There are moments in our lives when God calls to us and says, “Run to Me!” Something troubling is on our heels. The faster and farther we go, the more closely it pursues us. We can’t shake it. We’re too afraid to turn and confront the trouble on our own. But the reality is that we aren’t on our own. God is there, ready to help and comfort us. All we have to do is turn away from whatever scares us, and move in His direction. His Word says, “The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe” (Prov. 18:10).

Dear Jesus, You are the Prince of Peace. I need the kind of peace that only You can give. Help me to turn to You when I am troubled. Amen.

When I recently read this, although short, it jumped off the page at me this morning. I may not be physically running from something but there are days that I feel like there is something troubling right on my heels and the only safe place to run is into the arms of my Lord and Savior, for He is my strong tower and I am safe with Him. Sadness, disappointment, frustration, non of those emotions can have a strong hold on me today, as long as I run to Him, my Savior. Lord, I need You, oh, I need You, every hour I need You, my one defense, my righteousness, Oh God, how I need You. 
 
Have a wonderful day in The Lord!
