Secure

With great joy and care, Mr. Bill maintains a special saltwater tackle box. Yes, this is altogether separate from his freshwater tackle.  He doesn’t bring it out in the open very often and he has a secret place he keeps it.  He particularly doesn’t share it with other “family fishermen.”

Try as we may, we cannot secure our earthly treasures. This is not true, however, of eternal treasures -- they are safe and secure in Christ.  Death takes away too much of what we hold dear, but that nasty enemy has been defeated! I love how Charles Spurgeon says it: "Oh, how sweet to have sunlight when the candle is gone!" I remember locking a file cabinet at work one time only to learn there was no key. Even then, the cabinet was not secure because it wasn't long before the custodian had it open for me. Christ said in Matthew 28:20, "I am with you always," and that security is rooted in the authority of He Who spoke it. That means we can trust Him completely with every care and concern of this day and every day to come. It just doesn't get any more secure than that!
