A Strong Tower

Psalm 18:30
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.

I remember going to the castle in Heidelberg Germany. It overlooks the city and it is when it is lit up at night it is a sight to see. One of its very interesting features, is a tower which has walls that are 20 feet wide. Napoleon and his forces laid siege on the fort and a cannonball hit the tower just at the right place and it broke a large piece from it.

As you look at this tower you may realize that men cannot possibly construct a safe enough tower. For all of men's efforts, it will never be perfect, it will always have some flaw that the devil can exploit. Man-made towers cannot give us proper refuge.

But thanks be to God that "The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe." Proverbs 18:10
