This is one of the great declarations of Scripture. The 'name' of the LORD represents His whole character, His covenant relationship, and His power. A tower in the ancient world was the last place of refuge in an attack — unbreakable and high. The righteous do not merely walk toward God; they run. The result is total safety. This is an invitation to make God our first refuge, not our last resort.
Memory phrase: Run to God. Safe.
Talk about it: What does it mean to run to God when you are scared?
Prayer: God, You are my strong tower. I run to You.
