Scripture Devotion
The tower is already built. The only action required is the running.
“The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.”
Reflection
The image is a tower, and the verb is the surprising part: the righteous runneth into it. Not builds it, not defends it, not mans the walls — runs into it. The safety isn't something you construct under pressure; it's something already standing, that you move toward. The tower is finished before the trouble comes; the only action required is the running. And what's named as the tower is exactly that — the name of the LORD. Not a strategy, not a resource, but a name to run to. There's a reflex in it: when the threat appears, the righteous don't freeze or scramble to build a defense, they run to a refuge that was there all along. A Tuesday's troubles are met not by bracing alone but by running early to the tower that's already standing.
