Proverbs 18:10

Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible · Matthew Henry (1662–1714) · Public Domain

Here is, 1. God's sufficiency for the saints: His name is a strong

tower for them, in which they may take rest when they are weary and

take sanctuary when they are pursued, where they may be lifted up above

their enemies and fortified against them. There is enough in God, and

in the discoveries which he has made of himself to us, to make us easy

at all times. The wealth laid up in this tower is enough to enrich

them, to be a continual feast and a continuing treasure to them. The

strength of this tower is enough to protect them; the name of the Lord

is all that whereby he has made himself known as God, and our God, not

only his titles and attributes, but his covenant and all the promises

of it; these make up a tower, a strong tower, impenetrable,

impregnable, for all God's people. 2. The saints' security in God. It

is a strong tower to those who know how to make use of it as such. The

righteous, by faith and prayer, devotion towards God and dependence on

him, run into it, as their city of refuge. Having made sure their

interest in God's name, they take the comfort and benefit of it; they

go out of themselves, retire from the world, live above, dwell in God

and God in them, and so they are safe, they think themselves so, and

they shall find themselves so.
