David begins remembering what God has already done. In difficult seasons, memory becomes important. When the present feels shaky, we must remember God’s past faithfulness.
God had already been David’s shelter. He had already protected him through danger, betrayal, loneliness, and fear. David is reminding himself that the God who protected him yesterday is still the same God today.
The phrase “strong tower” gives the picture of safety and security. In ancient days, when enemies attacked, people would run into the tower because it was elevated, fortified, and secure.
There are moments in life where the enemy attacks emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and even physically. Discouragement comes. Fear comes. Weariness comes. But God still remains a refuge for His people.
Sometimes the safest place is simply being alone with God in prayer, opening His Word, and resting your troubled heart in His promises (Proverbs 18:10, Psalm 46:1, Nahum 1:7).
