Security

I was reading my Word, and a portion JUMPED out at me.

"The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.  From the place of His dwelling He looks on all the inhabitants of the earth;  He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works.  NO KING IS SAVED BY THE MULTITUDE OF AN ARMY; A MIGHTY MAN IS NOT DELIVERED BY GREAT STRENGTH.  A HORSE IS A VAIN HOPE FOR SAFETY; NEITHER SHALL IT DELIVER ANY BY ITS GREAT STRENGTH.. Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy, to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine.  Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.  For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because w have trusted in His holy name.  Let your mercy, O Lord, be upon us just as we hope in you." Psalm33:13-22

I am encouraged to know that my security is based on this rather than in the amount of wealth that I have accumulated when/if a depression or famine comes.  I am grateful that it's not who you know in the world but who you know to be your Savior.  It really drives the point home that God really is made powerful when we are standing empty handed. 

Thank you Jesus for being my EVERYTHING.  I am so glad that the kingdom is a relational rather than political!

As I'm sure you are aware, I have a teaching interview tomorrow!  It is a fourty minute drive through Dallas but totally worth it.  I will keep you informed and appreciate your prayers of support.
