“The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe” (Proverbs 18:10).

Problems and difficulties come to everyone. Though the hard situations present themselves in many, many ways, there is something true with every difficulty and it is that people will respond in one of two ways. First, some people will not turn to the Lord. They will respond in bitterness. They will try to work out their own solutions. Second, others who know the Lord, love Him and who are walking with Him, will run to the Lord. This gives the idea of investing extra time in His Word and prayer, focusing on Him, and running to Him for His help, comfort, and guidance. I hope that you are not experiencing difficulties today. But if you are, please run to the Lord. He is a Strong Tower that will be a shelter to you and a safe place.

For today: Regardless of the intensity of the situation, run to the Lord and not away from Him.
