Placing Security

As much as we want it, life does not guarantee security. Like Israel’s king, David, our lives change for the worse in a moment.

David was on the run for his life. Previously, he was a national hero, slaying the giant Goliath and winning wars; now he was an enemy of the state, a fugitive in his own homeland by the invidious King Saul.

While he “twiddled” under the king’s thumb, David , David professes full confidence in God. He says in one of his escapes, “In You, O LORD, I put my trust” (Psalm 31:1 NKJV)

Where is your trust? I can be the first to pipe “Jesus”, but history exposes me to all the past instances that I turned to resolve my problems on my own.

One time at the TV studio where I intern, I deleted a show sequence we just recorded!- and I remember how I distressed I was. Sadly, talking to God was last on my agenda. It’s the one thing to acknowledge Jesus with our lips and then deny Him in our life.

In the same psalm, the author cries, “Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.” Some of you will recall that Jesus said some of these same words on the cross. There are words of surrender. At the heat of his trial, David surrender himself to God and called on Him to save him.

David also in passage calls God to be his house of refuge.

Life will hurl its storms, but we have a shelter under whom we can resort. Be secure in God.

Spoil Yourself.

Since when did girls have to compete for a man’s attention?? Since when were WE the pursuers instead of the pursued?? Since when did we have to try to look better than the girl next to us and reveal our bodies to catch a man’s eye?? Since when is this ok?

Ok, call me old-fashioned, but back in the good ol’ days, a man pursued a woman. He saw a girl He liked, took the chance and got to know what was inside of her, and spent his time, energy, and money winning her heart. The girl did NOT hand out her heart to any man that walked by. A girl’s heart was an expensive gift.

Girls, I just do not understand why we think that we place any value on our hearts when we shove our selves at these boys. Not to mention shoving our bodies in their faces…
