Psalm 27:3

Insecurity is a bad choice, based on unbelief.
It doesn’t always lead people to be quiet.
It’s one of the greatest temptations for believers,
not to continue in faith, but to base our decisions
on unbelief.
Insecurity wants to be expressed.
People do all kinds of things out of insecurity.
It’s like a virus in a person’s soul, that he tries to get rid of.
Some people talk a lot, others laugh out of insecurity.
Some lie, some dress up provocatively, others just
withdraw themselves from all fellowship.
It’s like being surrounded by mirrors that all tell us who
we are or what we are supposed to be. These mirrors can be
people’s opinions, peer pressure, cultural demands.
The Word of God makes us confident.
It’s like a mirror inside of us.
God is looking into it daily.
We see reflections of His face and we are convinced
of his love and his ability to do what he has promised.
The more we have the mirrors of the Word in us, the
more confident we become in Him.
Philippians 3:3 teaches that our confidence is not in the flesh,
not in the visible things that can be measured by man.
Our confidence is the invisible security that we have inside of us.
God is our defender and we have chosen not to throw away
this confidence. Hebrews 10:35
