Security in God

Security of Those Who Trust in the Lord,
and Insecurity of the Wicked

 Psalms 37:1-11 NLT‬
¹ Don’t worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong.
² For like grass, they soon fade away. Like spring flowers, they soon wither.
³ Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
⁴ Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.
⁵ Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.
⁶ He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
⁷ Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.
⁸ Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper— it only leads to harm.
⁹ For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.
¹⁰ Soon the wicked will disappear. Though you look for them, they will be gone.
¹¹ The lowly will possess the land and will live in peace and prosperity.

By Your favour


Our security is in the favour of God alone! 

Mountain is symbolic of God's favour

"He speaks of himself as having, through the favor of God, put himself into a strong position - a position where he feared no enemy and no change; where he thought himself entirely secure - the state of "prosperity" to which he had referred in the previous verse. In that state, however, God showed him that there was no real security but in his favor: security not in what a man can draw around himself, but in the favor of God alone."
~Barnes' Notes on the Bible (commentary)
