Scripture
The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knows those who take refuge in Him. Nahum 1:7

Observation
God loves saving people so much that he takes special note of those who ask him for help.

We think just the opposite. We imagine that the Lord is easily annoyed and that if we bother him overly much that it will count against us in the future.

But our Father is far kinder than we can imagine. He warms to our dependance on him. He takes special note of those who run into his tower for safety. They are those who are close to his own heart.

Application
The definition of my existence is Philip McCallum, a man being saved. Each day, I need to depend more upon the Lord for salvation. Calling for help will only endear me to him. I live on the 7th floor of a high rise building. At least once a day, I take the stairs instead of the elevator. The stairway reminds me of the Lord’s tower and as I wind up the stairs I imagine myself running into him. “The name of the Lord is a high tower, the righteous run into it and are saved.”

Prayer
Father, save me. Let that be my prayer in every moment in every problem.
