Sunday Psalm Security
Sunday September 2, 2018
We tend to base our security on the experience of our personal relationships with others. If we grew up with attentive loving parents, we learn to trust others and have a good sense of healthy boundaries. If we grew up in dysfunctional families, we tend to be wary of others because we experienced, or witnessed, violations of personal boundaries in our homes. As children, some of us also had to deal with unmet needs. Now, as responsible adults, we need to assess and recognize those persons that we can trust.
When we admitted that we were powerless over our addiction and dysfunctional lifestyle, we looked for a secure place where we could be restored to sanity. Some of us choose for a place where there are God inspired people all around. These people become our friends. Their desire is for us to turn our will and our lives over to the God they know can be trusted. The person writing today’s Psalm found out that when he chose to trust God, he was actually God’s choice. He is amazed that being in relationship with God makes him a child of God, and an heir of all His promises.
Today, let’s consider if we have found our security in the God who loves and cares for us, or are still shopping for an alternate god. Without the living God in our lives, nothing in life really makes sense.
Prayer: Loving God, I confess that at times I still seek my security in people and things. Help me to choose you alone, first and only. Amen
