FAITH CAPSULE: The name of God is a strong tower.

Daniel 6

Earn a place in the strong tower through constant and persistent prayer 
The Bible declared, “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” (Proverb 18:10) 
The name of God is a strong tower to run to.
What a mighty God we serve! 
In His name, there is power to preserve and deliver anyone who runs to His name.
One of the most powerful ways to run to his name is to seek Him in prayer. 
Prayerfully, the psalmist ran to the strong tower asking, “Save me O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your strength. Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. (Psalm 54:1-2) 
Know to run to the strong tower by asking, seeking, and knocking for deliverance and preservation.
David testifies his running to the strong tower, “As for me, I will call upon God, and the Lord shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice.” (Psalm 55:16-17) Again, David is also saying that prayer is what it means to run to the strong tower. 
He stated his prayer schedule as morning, noon, and evening times. Praying only during Sunday service will not serve one as praying constantly and consistently. 
It is worth making prayer as a way of life the character of one that knows the strong tower.
How are you responding to seeking deliverance and preservation in this challenging life?
The word testifies to the response of Daniel to the signing of King Darius’s decree that called for banning prayer in his kingdom. 
Daniel 6:10 states, “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.”  
Daniel had no reason to call around for a prayer partner at his challenge times because he was conversant, knowing to run to the strong tower.
Daniel adopted a lifestyle calling on the name of God, morning, noon, and evening time. 
As a result, Daniel could not be violated even in a den of hungry lions.
The name of God is a strong tower, and David could not be quiet from calling on His name in the face of his enemies. 
He stated, “I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.” (2 Samuel 22:24) 
Work the word of God; have a place in the strong tower by constant and persistent prayer; engage in non-stop praising. 
How is your way of life?
God is a caring God. 
Let it be a way of life running to the strong tower.

Prayer for today: Ask that running to the strong tower shall be a way of life.
