Security

Where do we draw our security from. Do we draw it from our bank account?
Do we get it from whom we are married to and the importance of that person?
What about our home?
Do we receive it from what we make think we know, like how smart we are?
Do we get it from how we look?
How much college education we have?
What about the family we come from?
Where do our insecurities come from?
Maybe from abuse we have received.
Maybe from a negative prespective of what we even have of self..of who we are and what we really want to be...
Maybe it could come from the if onlys...if only I had a millon dollars...if only my husband hadn't cheated on me...if only I could lose 20 lbs I would be more secure in who I am....
If only I was a blond...(of course we all could do that)
If only I wasn't sick and had better health....
You would think if you have been on your job for 30 years..had a supervisor position...if you have been married 20 yrs of more...if you had money in the bank and it is payday and still had money in the bank you would feel pretty secure...
The bottem line here is there is no security in any of the above...We can think everything is secure..our job, our marriage, our looks, our bank account etc...but nothing is...all can be wipe away in a heartbeat..

Came to work on Monday morning here...and learned in my parent company someone in superviser postion that has been there 30yrs fired...gone...history...there is a reason....2nd 30 some year in employee in the same year that has gotten fired.....company policies, rules...broken....there are conquences from our failure to follow rules....
Marriage vows broken...after years of marriage...families split up, divided, many, many questions??? Why? How could I have prevented this from happening?
We all want to feel secure...often times babies, little children have security blankets..ragged old teddie bears or other stuff animals...what ever something to hang on to that gives them a feeling of security...thunderstorms little ones run to mommy and daddy's bed...secure in the arms of our parents...

I know I am secure in the arms of my Father....my savior Jesus Christ...that is where I want to find my security in because He is security..the only security..with promise....Never will HE leave us or forsake us...but we must believe and put our faith and trust in Him.....
