Your True Security Is in God, Not Your Circumstances
Adapted from Wake Up to the Word
The children of Your servants shall dwell safely and continue, and their descendants shall be established before You.
For many people, their security, peace, and joy are connected to their circumstances. If things are going well, they feel loved, but if they are not going well, then they think God doesn’t love them or that they are being punished for some sin they committed.
We are called to be led by the Word of God and the Spirit, especially concerning our thought life. We are not to be led by our soul (mind, will, and emotions). We may not be able to control what thoughts pop into our minds or what feelings arise in our hearts, but we can control what we do with those thoughts or feelings. We can be led by the Holy Spirit.
We don’t have to let negative, destructive feelings rule our lives; instead, we can take authority over our emotions, submit them to God, and choose to stand on the Word of God.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, help me to trust in Your Word and Spirit, not in my circumstances or emotions. Guide my thoughts and feelings to align with Your peace and love. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, amen.
