Wise Quotes - THE LORD OUR SAFE ROOM!

Anyone seen the movie 'Panic Room'? It's an American thriller, which featured Jodie Foster. Jodie was a mother who had moved into a new home with her daughter and they were invaded by burglars. The rest of the movie is set in this new home with the mother and daughter trying to make their way into the panic room for safety........Safe(Panic) rooms are extra rooms which are built in homes to run to in case of a break in. These rooms are usually built to protect and have everything needed to feel secure until help arrives.

But my question is how safe can one really feel in a safe room and what if help never comes? In Proverbs 18:10, Solomon reminded God's people that God is their 'safe room' and that they could find total security in Him.There is no other refuge than our God, He is our Salvation, our Fortress and our Strong Tower.....A fortress by the dictionary's definition is a large fortified place or any place of exceptional security; stronghold. A tower is defined as a tall structure taller than it is wide, often by a significant margin. 

How assuring it is to know that we can always run to the Lord our Srtong Tower and Fortress. His word in Isaiah 41:10 says, 'So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.'

Proverbs 18:10-11(NKJV*)

The name of the Lord is a strong tower;

The righteous run to it and are safe.

11 

The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,

And like a high wall in his own esteem.

The verse 11 of Proverbs 18 says the rich man depends on his wealth as his safety but guess what? Money or wealth might give a sense of security for a while but that will be false security. Wealth may not be your particular safe room. Perhaps you tend to run to something or someone when adversity comes. But while depending on the Lord daily for our security, we acknowledge His Supremacy as Lord of All and in so doing we learn to find a high point of safety in the safe room of His name. There is Power in the Name of Jesus.....No one has ever called out to Him and has been disappointed, NEVER.....i can testify of His Precious Name and i know my God never fails, so today run into the safe room of His Name. Have a blessed day.
