What/Who do you place your security in?

The Samaritan woman was certainly insecure in her marriage. I mean ca’mon to be married five times especially as a female its an indicator of lack of stability and security. The truth is, this is many of us today, including myself. We place our security in the wrong things and when it fails we succumb to the attributes of insecurity and repeat the cycle by placing our security in yet another unstable, fallible thing or being.

• I placed my security in my appearance…but not everyone will be size 8 without the rolls.
• I placed my security in my academics…but not everyone will get 100.
• I placed my security in being accepted by everyone…but not everyone will like you.
• I placed my security in relationships…maybe He isn’t the one for you.
• I placed my security in status/recognition…does it define your worth?

For a very long time I placed my security in the wrong things. All the things that I placed my security in are 100% FALLIBLE, they are not stable, certain or secure. I was like the Samaritan woman fetching water from the well that still left me thirsty, these false securities left me desiring more but never being satisfied because they couldn’t give me the security I needed.

¹³ Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, ¹⁴ but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” – John 4:13-15

Christ gave me the security that I needed. Just like He did for the Samaritan woman. Security IN CHRIST is the most stable place to be. His security overwhelms all the false securities that make you keep going back to draw from the well of insecurity. He provides you with His Living Water, ever present and dependable.

Don’t Compare the Market . Com

For many of us, our insecurities are a product of UNHEALTHY comparisons. Comparisons tend to leave you feeling inadequate and worthless because you doubt your ability to do the same thing another person is doing OR to have what they’ve got. The only way to tackle this, is to cultivate a culture of contentment. Be PROUD of what you have, live with it, ACCEPT the fact that you are different from everyone else, you are one of a kind, special and set apart, the workmanship of God << LIVE out these things, don’t copy others in the hope that it will make you accepted or significant because it won’t…they tend to last for a short while and then you slowly realise that you have to be you again. Famous saying: You were born original, so don’t die a copy. AMEN.
