THE NAME OF THE LORD – A TOWER OF REFUGE

Names are God are a revelation in themselves. They reveal to us the very character of God, and His attributes. This knowledge helps us to know who God is, and understand Him properly. The Bible tells us that, the name of the LORD is much more than the above things. It is our everything!
– “10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” – Proverbs 18:10

When the Word of God says that, the name of the LORD is a tower of refuge, it is not some mystical and magical incantation, which when uttered will open all locked doors, solve all our problems, and remove all our obstacles. The name of the LORD reveals His attributes and His character, which in turn, helps us to place our trust in Him. When we place our faith in God, He will work in and through us, to help solves the problem, in the best of our interest. HalleluYah!!!
– “God provides a wonderful and strong defence. This is rooted not in a magical saying of His name as if it were a charm or a spell, but in the name of the LORD as a declaration of His character, His person. In all that He is and all that He stands for, Yahweh (the LORD) is a strong tower.” – David Guzik

Let us meditate on seven specific names of YAHWEH, in the coming days. Surely, such a study will help deepen our knowledge of God, and our understanding of Him. The seven names of YAHWEH are as follows.
– JEHOVAH JIREH
– JEHOVAH NISSI
– JEHOVAH RAAH
– JEHOVAH RAPHA
– JEHOVAH SHAMMAH
– JEHOVAH SHALOM
– JEHOVAH TSIDKENU

Let us never ever forget that, “The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” Our safety is in this, when we run to God, as one does to a strong, stable and secure shelter, when it rains heavily. Do we run to the LORD, on a daily basis? Do we seek the LORD and His protection over ourselves? Have we made God our refuge, and stay put under His wings of safety? May we always make God our refuge, and always be under the shadow of His wings – Psalm 91:1.
