S E C U R I T Y
Psalm 37:23-24


How secure do you feel in your game?  Is your position on the team rock-solid and secure or a little tenuous?  From where does your security for life in sport and life in general come?

King David shares with us the source of his security in the words of Psalm 37 and verses 23 and 24.  There we read, “If the Lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.”

This man was far from perfect; in fact he had some terrible character flaws.  However, he maintained his relationship with God as first priority.  Because of that he was very secure.

Some of us find our security in our strength, speed, skills or technical abilities.  The problem is that none of those will endure for ever.  They will all dissipate over time. 

The key to real security over time is relationship.  As we maintain our relationships with teammates, we find greater security on our team.  As we commit strongly to friends and family, we’re ever more secure off the field of competition.  As we build a deep, loving relationship with Christ Jesus, all of life is upheld by the secure, strong hands of God.
