At Issue - Security

Isaiah 31:1–3

What do you find security in? Your job? Your husband? Your investments and savings? Your family? Your own talents and beauty? God says that woe—which means anguish, affliction and misery—will come to those who put their trust in anything but the Holy One of Israel. Everything else will ultimately fail. When it does, both you and what you were relying on will come crashing to the ground. Only if your security is grounded in God will you avoid being smashed to pieces. He alone provides true security. Better to learn that lesson the easy way than from experience.
