Last week there were some rather violent storms in our community. One in particular caused some concern for us, so the children were made to gather together in an inner closet for shelter. This reminded me of the protection afforded to those who run to God by faith to find security from His wrath and from the dangerous attacks from the enemies of Christ in the world. God's name is called a strong tower. Let's look at some compound names of God and find peace and joy in the truth the names reveal.
