When we feel at risk or insecure, does locking the door, buckling the seat belt, or setting the alarm system actually remove the insecure feeling? We have all probably seen the movies with a paranoid character who has multiple locks on the door, and even after locking them all, still is afraid.

There is only one thing that can make us feel completely safe and secure, and that is our trust in God’s love for us. With a firm faith that God has us under his care, we can truly feel safe and secure.

Psalm 4:8 tells us, “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.”

Dear Lord, help us build that solid faith in you so that we can have the peace in knowing that you will keep us safe and secure. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
