Praise God some more good news from His Word this morning! I want to ask you something this morning. Have you even been insercure in your faith? To be honest I have been from time to time. I tend to think the devil is good at placing things in our life to make us question our security in the Lord. Satan wants us to question if God is really with us in hard times. Satan wants us to question if Jesus really died for us. Satan wants us to question is God really does love humanity and the list can go on and on. BUT! God's word deals with that! Read the verses below:
Galatians 4:6-9
6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.8 But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods. 9 But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?
God shows us in His Word we have no reason for insecurities! The Spirit cries out from our hearts "Father" showing us our close as you can get relationship with God. Stop and think about that for a moment. Then thank God for providing that fatherly love! Then verse 7 tells us we are no longer slaves but a son and an heir to God through Christ! Now if that don't take care of your insecurities I don't know what will!!!! An heir of God! That is beyond my comprehension to fully grasp the magnitude of that. Verse 8-9 basically say why in the world would we ever want to turn back to the weak elements of the world and be in bondage as slaves. That is a very good question!
So this morning I want us to realize and not forget we are secure in the mighty arms of God our Father! Doesn't that feel so good! Close oyur eyes and picture that! Now don't let Satan turn you back to being a slave!
Thank you Father for security. Help me to keep my eyes on you, for then I will not be turned!
