The Antidote for Anxiety and Depression: Trust in Abba Father’s Care – Pt 103

Safe in the Strong Tower of Jesus’ Name!

The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

– Proverbs 18:10

In no other name is there found an answer to all of life’s problems, protection and comfort for those who call on that name but the name of Jesus. The name of the Lord Jesus Christ expresses all that God is, His attributes or characteristics as He has revealed Himself to us. The name of Jehovah speaks of His self-existence. Therefore, He depends on no other creature. He is the “I AM THAT I AM!” (see Exodus 3:14); a character that no other creature can lay claim to because every creature in heaven and earth is created by and for Him and consists in Him (see Colossians 1:16–17). He has created all things for His pleasure (see Revelation 4:11). Not only is His name love, merciful, grace, forgiving, healer, protector, provider, peace, faithfulness, among others but it is also a strong tower.

The name of your Heavenly Father as a strong tower is a secure place that you can run into and find rest just as a child rests on his or her mother’s breast. When you rest in Jehovah’s name you are safe (strong, made lofty, set on high), and lifted high above all your challenges. It doesn’t matter how big, intense, painful, debilitating the challenge is, call on the name of Jesus. You may not always get an immediate answer when you call on others but you are guaranteed an immediate answer every time you call on the name of Jesus.

God bless you!
