Proverb 1: 33
But he who listens to me shall live securely and shall be at ease from the dread of evil.
There has been little security for many people over the last many years. Wars, Covid, threats, political unrest and economic hardship have caused people all over the world to lose their sense of wellbeing and safety. Suicide rates are climbing. People are desperate. Fortunately, we do still have a safe place to hide, our own refuge. We can live safely and with the feeling of security because we have a God who is bigger than all of the trouble the devil dishes out.
You see, as the verse says, if we listen to Him, He will lead us to a place of protection. He will give us the ideas and answers we need in order to live securely, both physically and emotionally. You shouldn’t have to live in dread and worry. Your Father has provided a safe haven for you, but His security is only for those who believe Him and listen to Him. The Good News is, that is only a decision away. You may have been a Christian all of your life but have never quite gotten out of the boat yet and walked by faith. Well, today is your day. Set your mind on Him, completely on Him. Let His word instruct and guide you. Let Him fill you, all of the parts of you, even those places you have walled off before. Those walls are only keeping you handicapped anyway. Now put Him and His word first place in your life allowing Him to flood you with the peace and security. Choose to believe that He is protecting you and call on that protection. Ask Him to surround you, your family and friends, and your properties with His angels. Don’t give in to fear any longer but rather live in the security and peace of mind that comes from living to Him and listening to His instruction. Be free of fear. Be secure in His name and blood.
