Insecure


Matthew 8:26 

26 But he said to them, “Why are you cowardly, you people of little faith?”

Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was dead calm.

 Insecurity

 

Oh! What a blessing or a curse ... is the fear of insecurity

And the power that it brings  ... to Him Who draws your curtain

 

Equal say and equal choice ... equal in the knowing

That insecurity is a voice ... that screams against fore-knowing.

 

It is a weapon when used wrong ... a deadly voice with poison

That destroys the heart to the core ... and disunites the forces.

 

It drives people into hate ... and to instinct for survival

To pulverize the day of peace ... in deliverance from prime-evil

 

Unless it drives you to my God ... for that will be a blessing

For to know that in His Love ... He will protect you in your hiding
