Safety

The few of you who happen to follow my blog will notice that my journaling that can be shared publicly is going here.  Some of these will be quite short, especially if I'm short on time. This is one of those. 

Proverbs 18:10-12 (ESV)

10The name of the LORD is a strong tower;
the righteous man runs into it and is safe.

11A rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
and like a high wall in his imagination.

12Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty,
but humility comes before honor.

(Emphasis mine.)

Riches and the bravado that can come with them is no "safe space," to use a common colloquialism of the 21st century. Whether rich or poor, threats or the lack thereof, this country or that country, our only safe refuge is in the name of the Lord. Destruction of any kind has a way of humbling us. Run to the lord. Be safe.
