Where Security Comes From
People seek security in money, insurance, relationships, and knowledge. This is not wrong, but the Bible reminds us that all these things can waver. Jesus tells of two houses: one built on sand, one on rock. Both experience the same storm, but only one stands (Matthew 7:24-27). Security therefore does not depend on whether storms come, but on what one builds upon. “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe” (Proverbs 18:10).
Sleeping Securely
Psalm 4:9 is an evening prayer for restless nights: “I lie down and sleep in peace; for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.” Proverbs 3:24 also promises: “When you lie down, you will sleep sweetly.” Security begins within, with the trust that God is watching when you can no longer stay awake yourself.
