So Long Insecurity
I have begun to read a highly recommended book entitled “So long Insecurity” by Beth Moore. My immediate reaction to the title was “Oh that is for insecure girls. And I am not insecure. I think I’m awesome…”, but when I am honest with myself when certain random and unexpected events happen I have unexpected overwhelming bouts of irrational emotions.
Ok so I am not immune.
And before I dive into the rest of the text I am acutely aware that I am insecure because I do place my security in things other than the Lord, constantly. And this is revealed in my irrational bouts of emotion over my circumstances.
But just a few short pages into this book I find hope in these words:
“Just when I’m feeling all secure, like I’m God’s best friend, an earthquake splits that lofty mountain right down the middle. And boy, am I dismayed. I have a feeling we can never get so secure in ourselves that we cannot be moved. Can a rock move forward? Is the goal to the believing life to get to a place where we simply hold steady till we die? Maybe that’s part of my problem. Maybe I just get bored easily. I’m forever wanting to go someplace with God. I forget that in order to go, something has to happen to make me want to leave where I am.”
All of our falls are successful, because they reveal our depravity, turn our hearts to Him in a new way, grow us, and cause us to worship the One who does not fall.
I praise thee all the days of mine life.
