Day 72: Security

When the world around us screams, "You have to live like I do, you must believe like I do, you shouldn't worry about pleasing God, you should be insecure about your body, it's ok to sleep with someone before you are married, who cares." My ears just hurt to listen to all the voices that tell me what to do, Lord you are my authority, your word is my security. What you say matters, what you encouraged me to do when the world was trying to pull me down, changed my life. I hear some people's obsession with the things of this world it breaks my heart. Release my hands God of anything that I may be holding onto that would hurt if you asked me to let it go. I have nothing without you, no possesion can ever give me true joy. Lord, remind those who are reading right now to surrender all the important things in their life, may you be first priority. For you said if we seek first, not second, your kingdom, the things of the word, then all these things would be added to us. Thank you Lord for reminding us that it's you we are really living for, no matter what the world says. In Jesus name, amen.
