Day 25 – Jehovah Misqabbi

“I will love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” Psalm 18:1-2

When we get to know the character of King David, we learn that He regularly secluded himself in his room overlooking the city to pray to God. He was setting his tower alight with worship and prayer! Throughout his life, David was sorely afflicted by his enemies and at times snared and without means of escape. But God delivered him. David calls God, Jehovah Misqabbi – Lord my High Tower because He knew the presence and power of God in the seclusion of his tower.

As he fled from Saul and lived off the land with a handful of trusted men, they did not have the privilege to sleep in a building, so when he calls: Jehovah Misqabbi it is a sign of intimacy with God (Running to Him in desperate times) When calling upon God as Jehovah Misqabbi, we confess our human weakness and declare God’s powerful desire to save.

Prayer: Father, so many times have I run to you in troubled situations. Sheltering with You because You are Jehovah Misqabbi and have taught me the meaning of You being the High Tower in my life. Amen.

PS… Imagine the highest tower you possibly can. Imagine yourself safe and secure within the tower, where nothing can harm you. This is what Jehovah Misqabbi should mean to you.
