Where does true security lie ?, in riches ,that's a false security, in 1 Timothy 6 v 17, we are commanded not to put our hope in wealth, which is so uncertain,but to put our hope in God.What about the fitness regime, good health,well even the strongest gets a cold, and grows old.From a basic human point of view there is nothing absolutely secure,nothing,all our assumed breaches can soon be destroyed.Goliath in his pride laughed and boasted, and mocked God,but a young lad defeated him.Now there are many religions in the world,but will they bring eternal security?, no they won't,they are false securities,which those who follow them will unfortunately find out ,alas to late.One of the good things we read in the book of Jonah ,is when everyone was saved from drowning,the men in the boat stopped praying to their false gods, and prayed to the only God. Bruce Milne writes the following,'The only true security is in having no security except the mercy of God. To believe is to be brought to the place where one knows, that one has to rely completely on Jesus,and on Jesus alone'.
'My hope is built on nothing less,
Than Jesus blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus name,
On Christ the solid rock ,I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand'.
