Security

Security is the state of being free from danger or threat.

Most anywhere in the world you travel, you are aware of the security in the area, as you should be. With terrorists and unsafe people with guns, this world is getting to be unsafe, no matter where you are.

It’s good to take precautions. It’s a good idea to do what you need to do to make sure you and your family are safe.

But there is a point where you need to relent the ultimate responsibilities with God. We are to do our part, but we can’t do it alone.

Trust God for your security. Believe that He will take care of you and experience the rest that comes with this trust.

I can remember being so scared in my bed at night, alone and intently listening to every noise. Night after night I would wear myself out with worry. It wasn’t until I started talking to God, while I was in bed, that things started to get better. But, more than that, I started getting up early, reading a devotion and reading my Bible. I started talking to God throughout the day. I started seeing a difference in my attitude and how I treated others.

I can honestly tell you now that when I lay my head down at night, within minutes I’m sound asleep. I’m not afraid anymore of who might come in and harm me, or what may happen in the night.

I feel safe in the arms of God. I feel secure in my salvation and trust that God is leading my life to greater things.

My security is found in God alone.

Psalm 127:2 - “In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat - for He grants sleep to those He loves.”
