"God's Complete Security"

"Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name." (Psalms 91:14)
Not that it will make much difference, but you do know that it's alright to fail, don't you? We have been given something that is so amazing, there are not enough words to express the wonderful gift of salvation that we have been given. You think about this Psalm, if David did write it, and if it was the result of his punishment for taking the census; he took that census in vanity, to puff himself up, and to tally up the power, worldly power, that he had been blessed with. There was no difference between what was in his heart and that which was in Peter's heart disputing with the Lord as to whether or not he would deny Jesus, even after Jesus told him details of the how it would happen. There are two totally different worlds we are dealing with; one is infinite and all powerful, while the other is temporary and frail; surprisingly, the more powerful one cannot be seen, at least not naturally. It's all about our dependence upon God; the more we depend upon Him, the more secure that we are. The world will tell you that your faith is a crutch; as if there is greater power available in standing upon your own two feet and living life at it's fullest. If this was all that there is, then that might be the right frame of mind; but I am convinced that it's not, that there is life after death, and that the Bible is the true and living word of God. Therefore, if someone wants proof, if seeing is believing, then here it is, right here, all 66 Books that are written by 40 Authors; tangible proof! You are not going to convince anyone otherwise; if it's Jesus they need to know, this is where He is written of; other than that, it's all about their heart and the Holy Spirit. But for those of us that know the truth, the truth sets us free; free from the power of death and free to hope for a new tomorrow; a tomorrow that is without sickness and decay, without death and destruction, and one that if full of God's light and love! So, if that's your description of a crutch, then consider me a cripple; and I will limp my way all the way to the finish line; because I won't make it there without Jesus...
"My dear brothers and sisters, how can you claim to have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ if you favor some people over others? For example, suppose someone comes into your meeting dressed in fancy clothes and expensive jewelry, and another comes in who is poor and dressed in dirty clothes. If you give special attention and a good seat to the rich person, but you say to the one, "You can sit over there, or else sit on the floor" -well, doesn't this discrimination show that your judgments are guided by evil motives? Listen to me, dear brothers and sisters. Hasn't God chosen the poor in this world to be rich in faith? Aren't they the ones who will inherit the Kingdom he promised to those who love him? But you dishonor the poor! Isn't it the rich who oppress you and drag you into court? Aren't they the ones who slander Jesus Christ, whose noble name you bear?" (James 2:1-7) NLT
