Proverbs chapter 3 verses 23 through 26

listen to this promise when we are fearing God and receiving wisdom from Him.

The Bible says then you will walk on your way securely and your foot will not stumble. If you lie down you will not be afraid.

When you lie down your sleep will be and will keep your foot from being caught.

Oh, what security God has designed for our lives, designed us to live in.

In a world where obviously none of us knows what's going to happen the rest of

today or tomorrow or the next day and the possible things that could happen or

I mean they're endless and so how if that's

the case how do we sleep in a way that's sweet at night how do we lie down

without fear especially in a world of evil and justice around us, but here's the

security that God promises for us as his people, he says, when you're looking

to me, when you're walking the fear of me when you're trusting in me then you will

walk securely and your foot will not stumble he's talking about the righteous life when we

are walking and pursuing God then we're we're not stumbling toward evil

we're pursuing him and as a result when we lie down we have no reason to fear

we can sleep sweet because in the words of Proverbs 3, 5, and 6 we're trusting in him with all

our heart. We're not leaning on our own understanding. As we are acknowledging him, he's making

our paths straight so we don't have to be afraid of sudden terror of the ruin of the wicked

when it comes because God is our confidence and he keeps us from being pulled toward evil when we are walking in the fear of him, trusting

him with all our hearts.

So God, I pray, we pray for this kind of security in our lives.
