Security

The clothing of Christ is woven with the unchanging strands of acceptance, security, and significance. When you are clothed with Christ, you are never out of style.

Jesus once told a story about a man whose ground produced a good crop. The man was already wealthy; his barns were full. But instead of generosity, he practiced greed. He tore down his barns and built bigger ones. He was focused on his own security.

As we approach forks in the road, He warns us of the dangerous path and guides us along the right way. God’s Word is light for the journey.

That’s what happens when wealth is our security. We start believing in the god of money and begin the long slippery slide to the bottom of the slope.

Is it because we can’t or won’t trust God that we place our trust in all this other stuff? I believe there is a big lesson to learn from Israel’s king, Ahaziah.
