Stories about the Imago Dei and other Holy Moments

My Strong Tower

When on foot, alone
In hazardous ways,
Help me know You won’t leave me.
Know Your presence it stays.

While roads may threaten –
With doubt want to harm,
Help me walk in Your Truth
Lean on Your mighty arm.

Teach me all Your ways,
Every path I should take.
Help me know You never-
No never – forsake.

In hidden paths too,
Uncertain and veiled,
Help me see Your’re the Tower,
Who for ages prevailed.

“The name of the LORD is a strong tower;
The righteous runs into it and is safe.“
Proverbs 18:10

The name of the Lord–Almighty God, Eternal Father, King of the Universe, Jehovah, and more–is indeed a tower of refuge and strength. How incredible that he gives us access anytime we feel threatened. Thank you, Heidi, for your poetic reminder!

Beautiful poem, and I love how you captured the sun’s rays shining down around the tower. The song Safe by Yancy kept playing in the background of my mind as I read your poem.

    No worries, Heidi. I have been very busy, too, processing wedding photos and helping a new author with his book cover as it is in the process of being published. And I get to watch my granddaughters for the day. I hope things are pleasantly busy and not overwhelming for you. I pray you find moments of peace in the midst of the busyness.
