Finding security in this world can sometimes be a difficult thing. Some people's security is in stocks and bonds; some have it their friends and family. Others feel secure in their workout programs. And some try to find it in their careers or occupations. Although all of these can cause a person to be secure for a short time, none of these will last forever.

There is only one source of peace and security that is everlasting. It is important to put your trust and confidence in Jehovah the Lord. He will always continue and remain. You can always feel safe with Him and He can make you bold, even when you feel fearful. He can make you appear careless, even though you have many cares.

You have been told not to covet or to be greedy, but you can be both of these in spending time with the Lord. You should desire and long for Him. Crave Him as your daily food and drink.

Jehovah is the Lord and He is forever. As you keep your eyes on and follow Him, you will advance. In Him, you have a future. He conceals and hides you, so that you are perpetually safe and secure. He is like a rocky cliff and a stone boulder for you.
