All In: The Only Source of Real Security

It was 2:00 in the morning. I awoke to the sounds of muffled talk and the quiet beeping of machines. The room was pitch-black. I felt awful.

The radioactive iodine was doing its work to rid my body of any remaining cancer cells. And as I lay there unable to go back to sleep, I felt a different kind of pain. It came from the lack of any human contact.

I was now going on Day Three of isolation. There are no words to describe the utter despair I felt. Then, I heard a small whisper:

Imagine an eternity of this, Rick.

The weight of that thought crushed my soul.

Through my cancer I had looked death in the face and now, three months later, God had given me a new perspective on life. He stripped away any pretense I had about being able to control my destiny and showed me that life was about more than the stuff our culture throws at us.

You see, you and I have been placed into an epic saga – a story of God’s relentless pursuit to redeem His creation from the grip of the Evil One. But if money and possessions are your priority, Satan wins by keeping you from your rightful place on the frontlines of the spiritual battle.

Stop believing Satan’s lies. Instead, respond today to the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

When you look to God and begin to trust Him to care for you, you’ll know what it means to be truly secure. But the only way to get there is to trust Him fully by making His kingdom your financial priority. That’s when He will have your whole heart and you will really know what it means to be secure.
