Today's proverb hands you an address for every emergency: the name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

You will need the address, because today's chapters swing from Hezekiah's answered prayer to Manasseh's half-century of horrors, and in Acts a mob drags Paul from the temple. Towers matter most when streets turn dangerous. Know where you run.

Manasseh's reign answers a hard question, how did Judah fall after Hezekiah's revival?, with a sobering truth: no generation coasts on the last one's faith. Fifty-five years of state-sponsored darkness undid a father's reforms, and yet even then God was seeding the future: a boy named Josiah, already walking a better way.

Paul in the mob and Hezekiah under siege ran to the same tower, the Name, and both were kept, though not comfortably. Safety in Scripture rarely means the absence of trouble; it means the presence of God inside it. Teach your feet the route today: at the first alarm, run to the Name, not the spiral. Everything that has breath can pray.
