God, our hiding place

Proverbs 18:10:  The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. (KJV) A tower is a tall structure that either stands alone or forms part of another building.  God has many names and referring to God as a strong tower means He is a go-to place in […]
