Praise to the Lord, a STRONG TOWER

Perspective. It’s everything. Recently our nation has suffered terrible tragedies from hurricanes, flooding, fires, and mass shootings.  We can look around and feel hopeless and vulnerable; wondering why God has abandoned us. Or, we can scale the heights of heaven and see what God has done, who He is, and what He will do. In other words, He is not uncaring and inactive. He has seen evil and death and sent Jesus to overcome it. He gave us His Spirit to be with us to strengthen and comfort us. He’s creating a new world in which there is no evil where we will live with Him. From the perspective of heaven’s heights, I’d say our God is wonderful, loving, and faithful to we who are often not faithful towards Him. I’d say He’s a God of grace. What say you? That God has abandoned us and doesn’t care? Or, that God is the STRONG TOWER to whom we can run; that He loves us and is acting on our behalf?

Heavenly Father, You are a loving, good, faithful STRONG TOWER. We praise Your name and run to Your arms.
