So in case you're wondering how to live securely..
Leviticus 25:18-19 says, "Therefore you shall do my statutes and keep my rules and perform them, and then you will dwell in the land securely. The land will yield its fruit, and you will eat your fill and dwell in it securely."
Easy enough. So you mean, I don't have to have billions of dollars saved up or work all the time non-stop no matter what to make sure I'm secure for the rest of my life? I just have to obey God's commands?
But what are God's commands?
Well The Ten Commandments are a good place to start (Exodus 20). Or you don't even have to know all that. You can just love God and love others, and that pretty much sums it up (Matthew 22:37-40).
And if you want to know more details about who God is and what he expects, you can just read anywhere in the Bible. And if you want God to turn you into the type of person that obeys often, you can read the Bible daily and meditate on its truths, and you won't even have to think much about keeping rules because you just will start to naturally.
That is pretty cool because if I'm obeying God's commands and living securely then I don't have to worry, and that is a huge weight lifted off. And I'm not even just talking about financial security. I'm talking about security security, like this might also be the answer to insecurity.
I can be so insecure all the time: Ugh, my hair looks gross today. Why is my skin like that? I just said something really stupid. How come I'm not as skinny as her? Why did I just totally screw up that audition? Why am I still pursuing this crazy career? I'm not good enough. I don't know what I'm doing. Why am I here? AHHHHHHHHHHH.
But God says, "Tracy, just obey me. And you will live securely."
Oh yeah. Thanks for the remind.
