God is "always alert and active...protecting from both known and unknown dangers...which is the best security system available." (32)
We have constructed our own methods of security. Alarm systems, hidden cameras, video surveillance, retirement & savings accounts, disaster supplies, emergency funds, gated communities, padlocks & dead bolts, police patrol or even the family dog! All of that, just to relieve our concerns for safety. We live in a world that threatens our safety and our peace of mind.
What a comfort to know that as God's children we can have an additional peace of mind believing that "the Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my mountain where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold...and I was saved from my enemies." (Ps. 18:2-3)

I love how God works! I didn't have a chance to look at the scripture before church this morning. When I came home I looked at the devotion scriptures and found the same scripture we studied in Sunday School. Think God might be trying to tell me something?
