Life's Security

Psalm 112

"Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man. Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice. Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever. He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes." (v. 4-8)

Oh how delightful it would be to live a life without any worries and to never be discouraged by anything other than good news. Our lives may be different when we confidence and not have fear of anything in this world. Well, such life is possible. In fact, it has already been a gift to us from God. For we have nothing to fear other than God Himself. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we have been given the greatest gift of all... new life. In this process, even death has been conquered for us. All things have conquered by our Lord and Saviour. It is not to be conquered, or may be conquered, but has been conquered. Let us therefore always seek Him and follow Him. For He has shed his light in the darkness, so we may follow the path to which He leads. In doing so, we can be secured and steadfast through our faith in Jesus Christ.
