Collateral


Job 24:23 

23 He gives them security, and they rely on it;
Yet His eyes are on their ways.

 

What we receive from life is much more than we deserve.

When we speak security we want it underwritten by material.

If we give as we receive ... would we unwind in nerve?

As stress is replaced by “purity” and faith removes collateral?
