Security

Zechariah 10:12 “'I will strengthen them in the Lord and in His name they will live securely,' says the Lord.”

             

            In this day and age, security is a big issue that everyone has considered at some point in their lives no matter where they are.  I personally live near Chicago where the murder rates are through the roof and the news is constantly bombarding you with stories that would make anyone fear for their safety, but even people living in Beverly Hills have alarm systems in their homes for a reason.  Everyone has at least a minimal amount of concern for their security.

This passage was written to a specific people in need of God’s help but the idea behind it is applicable for everyone.  I personally believe that everything happens for a reason and if God’s plan is to keep you safe from harm then it will happen.  Having faith in the Lord and faith that you are in his safekeeping will make you strong.  Living in fear is no way to live and trusting in God will certainly relieve some of the fears we have about the world and what a dangerous place it can be.

Walking confident in faith is a perk that can be reaped from a relationship and life with God.
