The search for peace and security is an unending quest of
the human spirit. We will look for every
sign of security we seek. Yet sometimes we ignore the warning signs that our
security is in jeopardy. Isaiah observes
that even after a serious warning of impending doom, King Hezekiah, set aside
the warnings: “For he thought, ‘There will be peace and security in my
lifetime.’” (Isaiah 39:8).
Hezekiah is not alone in his dismissal of the warning signs.
Many people think they are immune to changing times that will upset and disrupt
their lives: “Not in my lifetime!” Hezekiah took his eyes off the One who
raised him up from the sick bed and trusted human programs and means to maintain
his current lifestyle. Do not trust your desire for security to overlook the
warning signs around you of any calamity. Trust God who will be your security. –
