II Samuel 22:3 states, “The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my
savior, thou savest me from violence.” The
first site that I wanted to in Paris was the Eifel Tower. We arrived at the tower just before they
turned on the tower lights at dusk. The
tower is beautiful all the time, but it is awesome at night when the lights
outline the entire tower. The tower
looked big from a distance, but when stood directly under the tower it was very
huge!
I don’t know how many times I have read this scripture but it never
stood out to me until I had seen the Eifel Tower. Now I have a much clearer mental picture of
God as my high tower. He is bigger and
stronger than the Eifel Tower. He is the
God who is above all false gods. Now I
understand that the false gods of the world are like those little key chains
which have a small metal tower hooked to them with a chain.
Everyone has a rock. It may be a
crumbling rock or a bunch of pebbles.
Let me remind you that God is your Rock and strong tower. Since He is so high and lifted up, strong and
mighty, He towers above all your troubles.
He will be your refuge and Savior. The Christian musician’s tower is the
rock Christ Jesus. There is no other
tower as strong as our God. The
Christian musician is anchored deeply on the strong rock and tower Christ
Jesus.
When we got to the Eifel
Tower it was raining and the wind was blowing.
However when we got completely under the tower, we were sheltered from
the cold night rain in Paris. I did not
want to leave the protection of this magnificent tower. However, I had too because the others I was
traveling with wanted to see more of the magnificent city or Paris. Praise God, we never have to leave the
protection of our strong, high and mighty tower Christ Jesus our Lord. I cannot understand why any musician would
willingly journey through this life without the strength and protection of our
tower which is Jesus our Lord.
