Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Ours is a culture of insecurity. The Greek-god perfection of the buffed-up bodies of celebrities makes the rest of us feel chubby and out of shape. The economy leaves us frightened about the future. Upcoming elections are up in the air. Physicians warn of impending pandemics. And every time our children turn the key to their automobile, we worry about their safety. Some people never feel safe in their own homes or neighborhoods, and others don’t feel secure in their relationships. Trying times can make us feel insecure, but our security isn’t found in our culture but our Savior. We have a Savior who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His tender mercy is new every morning. Promises cannot fail. His truth is immutable and His love is inexhaustible Proverbs 1:33 says, “Whoever listens to me will dwell safely, and will be secure, without fear of evil.” The writer of Psalm 59:9 said, “I will watch for You, for You keep me strong. God, You are my security!” Give your insecurities to God and lean on His everlasting arms, “safe and secure from all alarms.” What have I to dread, what have I to fear, leaning on the everlasting arms?
