Once I arrived at the church last night for board meeting, I realized that I didn’t have my wallet on me. I immediately called my wife, and she confirmed that I did indeed leave my wallet at home. I usually don’t forget my wallet, but I must have been in a rush. I don’t know about you, but once I realized I didn’t have my ID on me, I started getting concerned. “What if I get pulled over? What if they ask for my license?” I was very careful driving on my way back home later that evening.
I also get concerned when I forget my phone. I am like, “What if I can’t make a phone call when I need to? What if I am in an emergency situation?” This sounds like a twenty first century problem, but to some people like me, the concern is real. There is a sense of insecurity when you forget to have these items with you. Maybe it’s just me.
Forgetting these items shouldn’t be the biggest concern of the day. The question is, are we missing God’s presence in our daily lives? That’s the bigger essence of insecurity that we ought to be concerned about. We must feel the difference in life when we are engaged with God versus when He is absent in your daily lives.
The Word of God tells us, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be known to God; and the peace of God, with surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6,7. May we all find security and comfort in Jesus as we have His presence in our lives daily and find the ultimate joy.
