How would you like to live secure? Wouldn’t it be nice to not have anything to worry about? Don’t you desire to have peace in your life? Wouldn’t you like to be at peace within your soul? Have you been seeking a secure life with peace? Where have you been looking?
Being at peace is something we all crave. We also desire security. We want to be financially secure, physically secure with our health, and job security. However, when we cannot obtain peace and security, we attempt to trick ourselves into thinking we have them.
God tells us that Jesus provides the peace and security we desire through the prophet Micah. Jesus is our good shepherd who cares for us and does so with the strength that only God can provide. Not only is Jesus our good shepherd but He has the majesty of God. Jesus is both our brother and our King. He can be beside us in the mud and the muck and yet reign from the throne.
Because Jesus is who He is and has the all the power of God, He provides us with security and peace. We are secure in our knowledge of spending eternity with Him. Our hearts and minds can be at peace knowing He is always with us. We simply need to put our faith in Him—give Him our whole heart, mind, and soul.
I pray we all know Jesus is our Good Shepherd. I pray we trust that God will provide for us. I pray each one of us seek our security and peace from Jesus and see Him as both our brother and our King. Jesus is the Good Shepherd. Trust God to provide. Seek security from Jesus. Find your peace in Jesus.
Micah 5:4-5a
And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they shall live secure, for now he shall be great
to the ends of the earth;
and he shall be the one of peace.
