Become Joyfully and Securely Satisfied
Some of the best movies are ones where the protagonists are attempting to break into some unusually intricate security system in order to save the world, or to save a America, or some other worthy cause. And many times these security systems involve lasers, computers, high tech explosives, armed guards, and even animals that are trained to do nasty things should you attempt a break-in. That's usually an entertaining 2 hours as we sit and watch those exploits and anxiously wait to see if they can pull it off. We often go through similar lengths to insure that our valuables are secure. We all want to know that what we love and treasure is safe and preserved. Christ encourages us to know that as we live life in a sorrowful, painful world we are secure- both eternally and with the power to live a holy and separate life here and now. He keeps safe those that are his so that we can live with confidence, freedom and joy.
