Security

Whew, what a last few weeks this has been! I don't have to rehearse the troubles our nation has seen nor the worries it has caused. People are insecure, wondering where the next attack, incident, or plague will hit. "What is a body to do?" Is there any security? Do we have any rock to stand upon in this sea of frightening events?

Of course there is. Chuck Swindoll, in his book Living on the Ragged Edge, wrote:
"God has the whole world in His hands. Remember the old gospel song? He's got the wind, the rain; the tiny little baby, yes, even you and me in His hands. How easy it is to forget that! And it isn't limited to our geography or our culture, you know. He's got the Middle East in His hands (that's a relief, isn't it?), not to mention Central America and Red China, Ethiopia and India, Indonesia and Russia - all right there is the palms of His sovereign hands. And while we're at it, He's got our future, our children, our circumstances, our friends, and our foes in His hands ... within His grasp ... under His control. Even when imaginary fears slip in like morning frost to blight our faith. He's there – in charge....

"He has yesterday’s failures. He has today's challenges. He has tomorrow's surprises right there in His hands. And not one of them causes Him to gasp."

As Paul wrote to the Corinthians, "For the earth is the Lord's, and all it contains" (1 Corinthians 10:26.)

And as the Psalmist sang"

Ps 18:2 "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."

Ps 18:31 "For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?"
Take heart dear Believer, you are secure!!!
