Personal security.
Home security.
Financial security.
Job security.
Airport security.
National security.
All of these issues are important in today’s world. The papers have been filled lately with lapses in security from the White House Party Crashers to the Christmas Day Bomber; from our banks, to our jobs, to our home loans and our retirement funds. All of these issues have two things in common.
The first is that we should properly research, plan, prepare, execute and evaluate. We should research the pertinent information. We should make plans that are sufficient for our needs. We should do the necessary groundwork to be properly prepared. We should follow through on the execution of the plan. We should evaluate effectiveness and adjust as necessary.
The second is to realize that all of our best efforts can still be undermined.
True security comes from God. Proverbs 21:31 says “ The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but deliverance is of the Lord.” NKJ
I understand this to mean that it is appropriate for us to make all of the necessary preparations, that we are responsible to do what we can, but, that we should realize that ultimately God is our true security. Even as we are reminded by the phrase still on our coins, “In God we trust”. We would do well to remember that.
