Rom. 5:1‑10• 1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
 2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
 3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
 4And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
 5And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

A tower is a place of security as well as a landmark to others. The saint whose affections are drawn out to Christ is one indeed who has found peace in the eyes of Christ. (“Canticle 6: The Triumph of Love” by H. Smith)
