Day 79: The Need for Security

The need for security is real. Let’s face that. The basis on which God offers us security is very simple, it’s spiritual, it’s faith. It’s faith in God, faith in His word, and faith that’s expressed in acts of love toward God and toward those whom God puts in our pathway to help. The emphasis, which is really on doing good to the poor and helping those in need. This is an essential part of the Bible’s picture of righteousness. Unfortunately I think it’s dropped out of the thinking of many contemporary Christians and churches, but it’s never dropped out of the Bible.
