 MY SECURITY

Today's reading: Genesis 8-11

"As long as the earth remains, there will be springtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, day and night." Genesis 8:22 NLT

Maybe you place your peace of mind in having a stack of $100 bills in the bank.

Or you rest your head each night knowing our government holds all things in place.

Or that science and technology are keeping our world, and your life, in a nice order.

Me? Me, I'm not depending on any of that. Do I find them all to be useful? Helpful? Intriguing? And at times time saving? Sure, I do--but my hope and faith and trust and peace come wholly and securely in the Lord that assures the seasons, the atmosphere, the weather and the sun, moon and stars!

He promises the sun will always rise--the government cannot do that.

He promises that there will be planting seasons and harvest seasons--the scientists in the laboratories cannot do that.

He promises that we will get to experience the heat of the summer and the cold of the winter--the bankers on Wall Street cannot do that for us, no matter how high their stacks of cold hard cash are.

Only God.

Only God!
