Proverbs 30:24–25
Sometimes, we may have some or a lot of those things in place. But rainy day funds get drained; good health comes and goes and goes and comes. Everything doesn’t always go well. You might come to the end of your own skill, wisdom and resources. Things may not work well. We are often not in control of the situation. Then come animal bites, house fires, vice-principal phone calls, dumpings, layoffs, car accidents, serious illnesses and death.
So how do we live in this real world? Do we desperately struggle to find, keep and control security? Do we shrink back and not try anything for fear that we might disrupt the safe zone? Or is there a middle ground?
Well, today God and His Word have good news for us about his security question. It’s another piece of wisdom from his little creatures. God’s vulnerable rock badgers point us to the Rock. Rock Badgers have something to teach us about finding security in our often insecure world.
