Proverbs 18:10-11 (NKJV) 10 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.
Safety is a mind set, it has no real physical value, the person who feels safe is only as safe as the environment he/she lives in. If we believe a stone wall will protect us there is something that can tear it down, if we surround our selves with the strongest of material there is still an element of destruction that will move even that, since the beginning of time men have sought for a wall that would protect form anything, there is none!
The writer declares the obvious Truth, the only real protection comes from above and that Wall is Jesus, He alone is the source of all security, in Him we will live, and in no other. The wealthy man believes his money is his strength, but God clearly is the One who gives and takes away. Friend will you trust in things that will never make you secure or will you trust in the only security there is Jesus.
Heavenly Father we are safe in You and in no other, help us to look to the Source of all protection. May our every thought remind us You are God. Amen
