Security in Christ


There is a certain security & peace in knowing the goodness of God.

"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him." (James 1:5 NASB)

Because in His goodness He reveals mysteries & gives wisdom where we otherwise fret.

"My son, do not reject the discipline of the L ord Or loathe His reproof, For whom the L ord loves He reproves, Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights. How blessed is the man who finds wisdom And the man who gains understanding. For her profit is better than the profit of silver And her gain better than fine gold. She is more precious than jewels; And nothing you desire compares with her. Long life is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways And all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who hold her fast. My son, let them not vanish from your sight; Keep sound wisdom and discretion, So they will be life to your soul And adornment to your neck. Then you will walk in your way securely And your foot will not stumble. For the L ord will be your confidence And will keep your foot from being caught. Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in your power to do it." (Proverbs 3:11-18, 21-23, 26, 27 NASB)

But the KEY lies here:

"But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways." (James 1:6-8 NASB)

It is in the KNOWING Christ and His goodness, not merely the asking.
Do ask & yet do believe.
He is ALL that He says He is!
