Sunday Drive - Where Is Your Security?

Where Is Your Security?

There is so much information out in this world. If you have a question or concern you can Google it and find tons of different answers and opinions. I remember, (back in the day before the world wide web) we had to find information in books, or listen to 'experts' in a topic. Sure, there is so much more information now, but sometimes it's just too much.

If you are researching a topic, you can find so many different views. They can be opposite, contradict or agree. I find myself not knowing what to believe! What information is true? This seems to be happening more and more to me. It's so frustrating and confusing... It makes me feel like I don't know which way to turn... who do I listen to... it can be paralyzing.

When I find myself that confused, I have to stop. I need to remember who to listen to. Who to put my trust and security in. Jesus. He can sort out the chaos.

John 14:20 (NLT)
20 When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

He is the only One that can give me peace. He is the only One I can trust. I believe that He is living in me. I do not feel confused when I turn to Him. I believe that He will guide me. There is no stress or anxiety in Him. There is no fear or worry. He is the King of Glory!

Psalms 24:7 (NIV)
7 Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.

Lord, flood my mind with Your peace, when the world is bombarding me and overloading me. Let me be reminded of my future and my hope that is in You. Holy Spirit show me truth and shut out anything false. I do not need to fear. I choose to make you Lord and King over every part of my life, my mind, my heart, my strength... all of me. Help me remember that You are my security. 

Proverbs 23:18
18 There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.

Psalms 139:16 (NLT)
16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

Isn't that amazing? He recorded every day of my life, the past, present and future. It is good to remind yourself of this. He knows all about us. He knew us before we were born, He knows us as we live our lives and He knows the moment we will step into eternity.

When I get overwhelmed, I try to go back to that last verse (Psalms 139:16). It gives me such perfect security. He knows all about me. He's got me. I don't have any reason to fear. He will help me navigate this life, if I will just listen to Him.

Blessings,
