Fear And Insecurity

Friday October 16, 2020

As humans, we long for security in many forms; security within our own family, security about who we are inside our own heads, security of our position within any group we are a part of, security from any type of threat to our wellbeing, and from any other thing we may see as a threat.  Lack of anything we consider necessary may make us feel insecure. 

In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety. (Psalm 4:8 NASB) 



This Is the security the founders of AA had in mind when they assured us that as we turned our will and our life over to God’s care and walked in sobriety with God, fear of people and economic insecurity would leave us. 



And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. …  So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised. (2 Corinthians 9:8 NIV; Hebrews 10:35-36 NLT)
 God can hold us steady while life shifts and turns around us and within us. God invites us to seek Him in the middle of unpredictable and insecure circumstances. God promises to provide all we need not only for ourselves but so that we can be productive and helpful in every good work.  We are encouraged to confidently trust in God, knowing that as we focus on doing His will in all our affairs, all God’s promises are rightfully ours. 

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6 NASB)

Life without God is uncertain and dangerous, but life with God is filled with peace, and hope, and a future, as we trust Him in all our ways. 


Prayer:  Heavenly Father, help me to trust You to provide all I need, at all times, in all things, so I can do the good work that You’ve prepared for me and receive the rewards You promise those who do Your will.  Amen
