When we're anxious and afraid, we often ask God to remove our figurative storms. But He offers us something even better–Himself. He is our strong tower, our impenetrable fortress able to carry us through our worst crisis. As Psalm 46:1 states, He is our ever-present help in times of trouble, and our God is for us, always. In this episode, host Jennifer Slattery and guest Becky Harling discuss the truths stated and implied in Proverbs 18:10, which states, The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe (NIV).
Bible passages discussed: John 6, Psalm 91, Proverbs 18:10, Psalm 46:1
