Our Security
1 Kings 1; 1 Chronicles 28; Psalms 91; 1 Thessalonians 5
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty…Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence…You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday…For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;”
Psalm 91:1, 3, 5, 6, 11
Where do we find our security - in a good security system, a firearm, a great job, or a stable country?
Moses testified that security is found in the presence of the Lord. Giving our lives to the Most High is the key to finding rest and being free from fear. Moses watched firsthand as the Almighty destroyed the most powerful kingdom on earth. Moses chose to switch his trust from Pharaoh and his power, to the Most High God. Moses witnessed the mighty angels whom God assigned to deliver Israel and guide them to their Promised Land. Those same angels continue to serve God’s purposes among his people.
Where have we placed our trust?
“Lord Jesus, you are my shelter and deliverer. In you I place my trust, for your glory.”
