Unshakable Security

Where can we find unshakable security?

I read this phrase unshakable security in my Bible study this week and it hit me like a 10lb brick. People see me as confident, strong, ambitious and most definitely secure. My personality traits that other people see solely rest in Christ. I work daily on my insecurities, lack of ambition, and other struggles. It is only by God's grace that I can overcome those things.

Christ is the foundation of unshakable security for me. I second guess my thoughts all the time. The more I study God's word the more I am learning how inferiority complexes are just as self-indulgent as superiority complexes. They both are relying on self and not God.

He knitted us together in our mother's womb. He told us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. His word also says that he has a plan for us to prosper us and to make us into His image! It is so amazing to think that God doesn't want us to sit around and be depressed and self-indulgent. He wants us to use our God given talents and desires to serve Him and bear much fruit.

I keep running into people with insecurity issues especially with self-image. It's amazing how many fad diets there are and how many ads or commercial there are pushing us to lose weight, get fit, have surgeries, etc. The bible talks about each of these areas. Amazingly God didn't put a height/weight chart in any of the books of the Bible. He does mention literally that exercise is of 'some' value. He does call us to care for our bodies because they are temples of the holy spirit. We should honor our bodies and care for them, but to overindulge in any of the areas I believe is a sin. Trusting God with exercise and eating seems to be tough for most of us. He wants our very best for us and has already given us the tools to live a god-centered life.
My prayer is that I/we will take each day captive and trust God with what He is going to do with it.
