“耶和华的名是坚固台；义人奔入便得安稳。”
箴言 18:10
“The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”
Proverbs 18:10
One of the greatest biblical descriptions of a truly “safe place” is found in the familiar words of Psalm 23. Some scholars envision David writing this Shepherd-psalm while still a young boy, perhaps lying under a star-filled night sky.
Others see so much maturity and wisdom in the song that they imagine Psalm 23 as the reflections of an elderly person who has lived long and learned much.
Either way, the song clearly describes David’s “safe place.” It was a place of provision (v. 1); a place of green pastures and quiet, relaxing waters (v. 2); and a place for spiritual restoration and spiritual guidance (v. 3).
But, most of all, it was a place where David experienced the presence of God, who removed all his fear and provided deep comfort (v. 4).
