Confidence in the Lord
Author: Greg Morgan
Insecurity is defined as uncertainty or anxiety about oneself; lack of confidence. Counselors tell us that insecurity can be either true or perceived. In either case, the feeling is real.
A Catholic orphanage had a large population of three and four year old children in the 1970s. They were well behaved and seemingly happy, however, every night before bed, they would all starting crying. The nuns were perplexed as to why they sobbed every night and had a hard time falling asleep. They decided to pray and fast about the situation.
They believed that God told them to give each child a piece of bread before they went to bed. Sure enough, each boy and girl was comforted by the little amount of food that they could hold in their hands. They were no longer anxious about the prospect of not having anything to eat the next day.
Dennis Prager, a radio talk show host, once said that people want to be taken care of even more than having freedom. To me that is quite sobering.
Romans 8:38-39 in the Amplified Bible states it like this:
38 For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The Contemporary Christian trio First Call, went on a trip to the Holy Land in 2007. There they sang their song "Nothing Can Separate Us". Enjoy their powerful ministry through music.
Be blessed and secure, free of anxiety,
Greg
