*TOPIC: ENJOYING TOP SECURITY (II)*
*Read Psalms 46:1-11*
*MEMORISE: _He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire_ (Psalms 46:9)*
*EXPOSITION*
The Psalmist understood what it meant to enjoy divine security, hence Psalms 46, projecting God's protection and peace. Peace is not the absence of threats, but the calmness, despite the intensity of the trials.
It is to have the peace of God and confidence that it is well, no matter the situation.
The kind of security and protection God provides His children is the kind that cannot be breached. No matter the tightness of any man-made security, there is always the possibility of someone trying to break in.
We have seen situations where leaders of nations were assassinated amidst sophisticated security. How did Ehud kill the supposedly secure Eglon? *(Jdg. 3:16ff)* Even the most secured prison in the world can experience prison break. Only God's security cannot be penetrated.
When Lucifer tried to tamper with God's internal security in heaven, his rebellion was nipped in the bud. Right away, he was arrested and hauled down on earth *(Isa. 14:12ff; Ezek. 28:1ff; Rev. 12:7ff).*
Psalms 46:9 unequivocally expresses God's control over threatening situations: He has the power/authority to terminate such situations, and clearly does, as He puts to shame all weapons the enemies trust in *(cf. Isa. 54:17).*
Only those who dwell 'in the secret place of the Most High' can enjoy such impeccable security 'under the shadow of the Almighty' *(Psa. 91:1).* You want to be fortified like Elisha was *(2 Kgs. 6:8-23)?* Run to Jesus, now. If you are not saved, you are not safe!
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Lord, I entrust You with my life; fight my battles for me, and let me enjoy true peace in You
2. Lord, render every Sennacherib threatening the spread of Your gospel in this nation useless and impotent, in Jesus' name.
3. Pray God to grant the immediate release of those in the net and nests of terrorists, kidnappers, ritual killers, etc., like He did Peter.
