The Tower of Salvation

2Samuel 22:51

He is the tower of salvation for His king: and sheweth mercy to His anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
The LORD is the tower of salvation (yeshua) to all who place their trust in Him. Trust is a matter of the whole heart, and when your whole heart is after God He responds with His anointing (mashiyach). This is the extension of the secret place of the most high God, a dwelling place under His wings where there is peace and safety in the midst of all the storms of life. Yeshuah Ha’Mashiyach, Jesus our Messiah, beloved Son of God: we trust that you are ever watchful over those whose hearts are fixed on you. Thank You LORD, for keeping us in perfect peace in the midst of the rising tide of deep darkness, as the stormy seas of the nations toss up their foam. As the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ draws near, we remember that it often seems darkest before the Day dawns. As it is written,

Isaiah 60:1-2

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee.

A Nail in a Sure Place

Isaiah 22:23

And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.
The only sure place to dwell is the secret place of the most high God, and His is the only place that is sure and certain. We are fastened there by Jesus Christ. When the Roman soldiers fastened Him to His cross they used three nails, a constant reminder of our triune God who is One LORD. It is only through the cross that we can approach the throne of God and rest in surety, knowing that no man can pluck us out of His hand. We cannot even come to the Father but by the blood of Jesus Christ, for He is the nail in the sure place.
