Security

Most people search for security. There is internal and external security. External security is for food, shelter, health and a stable income. In a blink of an eye everything including friends and money can be taken away. In reality all our security is internal. Even when we have everything to be secure in and external sense we are like a bird in a cage. A bird in a  cage can get food and a place to live but it does not have freedom.... even when we have external freedom we still  will have fear. Brooding about the past is like living with the dead and if we continue to worry about the future we will never experience peace. We are like someone sleeping near a snake hole. We never know when that snake will come out and bite us. This is how we are living with fear. We must look more towards inner security that God will give us.
