English term or phrase: towers of strength
Sunday School teachers see great significance in the fact that the Lord has arranged much of His Word in narrative form, presenting a great variety of character-types for the instruction of the young. How we glorify Him for such shining role models as Daniel and Nehemiah! How important it is that we should present them as men of conspicuous character, who shone out in their generation as ***towers of strength***, and who secured (with God's help) great benefits for the people they served.
