Did you ever have a special "security blanket" when you were a child? I did. It was my life-line for many years of my young life -- looking to it for comfort during storms, at bedtime and anytime I needed some reassurance. It was a shredded mess before I gave it to one of our puppies.
The EconoME sermon series this month has impacted me perhaps more than expected. The Lord has shown me that I have problem with misplaced "security." He's been leading me on a journey of discovery for the past month or so -- last week I finally admitted it to Dana and the Lord. I've realized that although it is wise to save and be prepared for emergencies I have been putting my "trust" in our savings account and not the Lord. It started subtly the way most sin starts -- and then snowballed into worry and anxiety that didn't go away, gnawed at my gut and caused me to get cranky for no good reason which effected our family life.
I have a renewed rest in my heart believing in the provision of our Abba God. He's the best security blanket we could ever have! What are you putting your trust in?
