“Power in His name”

The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. Proverbs 18:10.

Verse Reflections:  Some days, I need the comfort of this image.  I love knowing that God’s name in and of itself has power, it is high above the earth as a tower, it is fortified and strong and nothing can tear it down.  We can run to the name of the Lord and know we are safe.  Today, I need that knowledge that God is stronger than I am.  I spent all weekend eating and I got up this morning ready to start again full force.  I am not even having coffee or diet coke now.  We are going to blow the God foods out of the water.  I am going to call on the name of God today to give me the power to rise above my eating addictions.  I am going to know that I am protected.  I am going to run to His name and I will be safe.

Prayer:  Thank You God for the power in this verse.  I need it.  My own power is not working.  I have not been going to Your word and I feel the difference.  Lord, I am trying to invest in the right-ness You have called me to do so I claim my righteousness by Your power.  You tell us the righteous can run to Your name and we will be safe!  I love You and I am going to eat all God food today and I am excited about it.  Thank You for Your power.  Thank You for the safety You give me.  I love You and I am looking forward to eating God foods all day with Your help.
