Happiness and Security

Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who makes the storm clouds. He gives showers of rain to men, and plants of the field to everyone. The idols speak deceit, diviners show visions that lie; they tell dreams that are false, they give comfort in vain. Therefore the people wander like sheep oppressed for lack of a shepherd.

Zechariah 10:1-2

We often create idols of money, power, fame, or success, and then we expect them to give us happiness and security. But these idols cannot supply what we need any more than a stone image can make it rain. How foolish it is to trust in idols. Instead, trust God's promises for your future. He alone causes the blessings in your life. He alone can make it rain and provide for your every need. It is God who orchestrates our steps and our circumstances. Many people I speak with are not believers, and yet they find themselves "in no moral or spiritual danger." And yet they are all seeking something. They are still seeking the ever-elusive happiness and security; the joy that can only be found in Christ. They are all seeking something, they just don't know where to find it. You have the answer they are looking for; share it with someone today.

God Bless you,
