Security, where is my trust placed?

Are you secure in your life? If so where is your trust placed?

The businessman before the big merger feels his stomach sink to his feet. His son is starting in the big game and is filled with fear. The daughter’s anxiety is almost over whelming before her big test.

What ever it is big tests, big business, the big game, the fear of the world ending or what colour socks shall I ware is based on our security. Were do we put our trust, and how do we give our fears too will give us the result and consequence we will have.

Read Psalm 112:6-8

Trevor is insecure and scared. He may not walk around school shaking like a leaf. When you see him you will never see it through his seemly self-assuredness. He does not carry around a blanket and suck his thumb, but he does feel uneasy when he watches the all the bad news. He feels scared when he sees his family put all their money in a hole in the back yard. That his family has generators, a well-stocked basement and plenty of bottled water. That fear and doom are around the corner, because all the computers will crash and through us into economic chaos for months.

So Y2K came and went, and nothing happened, but just the date has changed. Now it is Jan 31st. But that date too came and passed, nothing happened. But now his father is insentient that Feb 29th will be the day of reckoning. That the world may not end, but all the computers will crash because of leap year!

Trevor's worth was in his future.

Read II Timothy 3:1-5 In December of 98 Sonia started to date Jerry. He is good-looking, funny, his parents have money, and every thing Sonia ever dreamed was now hers. So Sonia built her whole world around Jerry. For over a year her self esteem and self worth was based on Jerry. And based on how Jerry treated her. And how others saw her. All her friend gave her rave reviews for dating Jerry. Even her parents liked him. All seemed too good. But some other girls at her school started some rumours and Sonia felt like scum.

Sonia's life was now a yo-yo of security and insecurity. Highs and lows. Sonia's worth is what people saw of her.

Read Jeremiah 17:5

The Bible tells us not to overly depend on people. Yes we need each other, and one of the main themes of the meaning of life is building relations with each other. Of course the main meaning of life is to love and trust in Christ as our Lord and Savoir.

We do not need to have our security in what might happen, or in what people say.
