Secure In His Presence
by Ptr. Roger Inso, Senior Pastor of Jesus Christ Ministries International
Scriptural Reference: Text: 2 Samuel 7:27-29; Genesis 1:2

How much water can you hold in the palm of your hand? How much dust could you take up with a scoop? We are limited; God isn't. He has already measured all the water in His palm. He is the Almighty, not limited like we are.

We spend the majority of our lives building security in our job, finances, and relationships. But security within the world system is extremely shallow and deceptive; "Do not store up for yourselves treasures (security) on earth, where moth and rust destroy, where thieves break in and steal" (Matthew 6:19). We ought to be thankful for every one of our earthly blessings, but we should NEVER receive our "security" from the world. Our complete dependence must always remain on our Lord Jesus Christ, and our eyes and ears continually open to His leading.

Our daily walk is made one slow step at a time as we "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5).

Secure wherever I go.
How wonderful to hear God promise I am with you, wherever you go. I will protect you, wherever you go, I will prosper you and your descendents, wherever you go. I will not leave you until I have done all that I promised, wherever you go. ” What a comfort for this and every sinner who returns to the Lord!
We cannot depart from God's presence; He is everywhere. He's always in control, even when we try to fashion our own destiny without God and make a mess of it.
" Now, O Lord God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, establish it forever and do as You have said. So let Your name be magnified forever, saying, 'The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel.' And let the house of Your servant David be established before You. For You, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, has revealed this to Your servant, saying, 'I will build you a house.' Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray this prayer to You. And now, O Lord God, You are God, and Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant. Now therefore, let it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You; for You, O Lord God, have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed forever."
Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray this prayer to You: Notice that David prayed from the heart. Some people pray from a book; others pray from their head. The right place to pray from is the heart.

Lord, I do not know what to ask of You. You know better than me what my needs are. You love more than I know how to love, Help me to see clearly my real needs which I do not see. I open my heart to You. Examine and reveal to me my faults and sins, I put all trust in You. I have no other desire than to fulfill Your will. Teach me how to pray. In Jesus Name, Amen
