Unshakeable Security

UV 3351/10000 Unshakeable Security
He will never be shaken; The righteous will be remembered forever.

Psalm 112 v 6

The Psalm describes a person who lives in awe of God. Such a person delights in obedience of the word of God. His generation and descendants will be blessed and powerful. His legacy will outlive him. He prospers holistically and his house is adorned with spiritual, emotional, relational and material riches. He will have hope and strength to face difficult and dark moments in life and emerge triumphant. He is generous and gracious. He is just. The security of such a person rests in the Lord and as such, he can never be shaken.

A believer’s sense of security is so strong, he does not fear that he will be overtaken by any bad news. He is steadfast or stable in his faith and does not vacillate. He knows his adversaries would be eventually defeated. His faith is built on the Rock which is Christ. He derives his confidence and his security from the name, the person and the teachings of Jesus. As long as he is faithful to these, he cannot be shaken by fear or doubt or frustration. He is not self actualized but Christ-fulfilled.

The believer will not be afraid of being put to shame by his own deeds or the deceit of the enemy. His feet do not stumble or get caught in the snare of the enemy as he walks in the power, wisdom, love, awesomeness and peace of Christ. He does not place his reliance on his own strength, wisdom, ability or resources or that of other people but He relies completely on the Lord. He knows the Lord will honour him for his faithfulness even if the world does not. He is not vain to seek fame or popularity in this world for He knows the Lord will remember his deeds forever and reward him in due time or in eternity.
