Sitting in the tower ...


The Psalmist calls God a "refuge" and Proverbs says,

"The name of the Lord is a strong tower,
the righteous run into it and they are safe."

These verses made me think this morning, once you've got to the tower, what can you do? Not a lot, I decided, except rest! And then I thought, "And that's ok!" There's a song to Jesus we sometimes sing,

"To rest in your presence, not rushing away,
to cherish each moment, here I would stay"

The trouble is, I don't want to rest in his presence, I want to 'get on'! So I was forced to pause for a few moments and 'rest' in the tower of Christ's presence, and appreciate that time - not wanting to rush away to do all the things I think I need to do!
