Salvation- From the Baptist Bible Hour
My salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior… – 2 Samuel 22:3
David had sought refuge in the mountains countless
times while being hunted by King Saul. He knew both the discomfort of
being exposed and vulnerable, and the peace of being safely tucked away
in a strong fortress. Now David, as an old man, writes a hymn of praise
to God, after being delivered once again, and calls God his salvation,
his tower, his refuge.
Do you have a refuge? Perhaps not from a ravaging
army, but from a smarting conscience? Do you have a safe place to run
when you realize that there are sins in your past that cannot be undone,
mistakes that cannot be corrected, wrongs that cannot be righted?
When your sins come rushing in on you, when you
come to realize how far short you have fallen of the perfect and good
standard of God, then your first tendency may be to save yourself — but
you cannot be a refuge for yourself. You need someone else to shelter
you from the just wrath of God. You need the perfect goodness of Jesus
to be your refuge, your high tower of defense.
When you feel exposed and helpless before the
all-seeing gaze of God, realizing that you are a sinner and that your
only hope is a savior to intercede for you, know that Jesus Christ is a
strong tower, a refuge into which you can run and find safety. This
refuge will last, this tower will hold, this savior will save.
