SOCIAL INSECURITY

“Your heavenly Father knows all that you need. Seek first His kingship over you, His way of holiness, and all these things will be given you besides.” —Matthew 6:32-33

Are you secure in God’s love? Are you sure that, even if a mother forgets her infant, the Lord would never forget you? (Is 49:15) If you lost your job, would you worry? If you didn’t know where your next meal was coming from, would you be upset? Do you believe that your heavenly Father is a real Father Who provides for His family? Do you feel so insured by being a child of God that having man’s insurance would be superfluous or even a means of doubting God’s providence?
We can’t serve two masters; we should not worry but trust God for our basic needs (Mt 6:24). Many of today’s Christians have placed themselves in the most insecure situation possible, that is, depending on themselves for security.

Prayer: Jesus, may I lose my life so You can save me (Lk 9:24).
Promise: “The Lord is the One to judge me, so stop passing judgment before the time of His return.” —1 Cor 4:4-5
Praise: Praise You, Jesus! Your dependence on the Father set us free to abandon ourselves to His care. Thank You, Father!
