The Key to Security

The Secret Place

By William M. Self, Sr.

 

What is your key to security?

God tells us in Psalms 91 His protection comes to those

WHO LOVE HIM

The Key to Security

They say safety is relative…Some people

go their entire lives and NEVER feel safe.

Others take incredible precautions to protect both

themselves and their loved ones from anyone

and anything that may seek to cause them harm.

There is a list of 10 most secure locations on the planet.

·       Fort Knox has a 250 ton door marking the entrance

·       Cheyenne Mountain has blast

doors that each weight 25 ton

·       Heaven Co, an “Island data haven”,

built 6 miles off the coast of Britain

·       Area 51 where only the workers and the

President knows what goes on there

·       Air Force One, the world’s most advanced

flight avoidance, all for the protection of the

Commander-in-Chief and his entourage

·       ADX Florence Prison is a supermax

 prison for the baddest of the bad

·       The 1960’ Bar located 100 feet underground

within Britain’s secret subterranean

·       Bold Lane a 440 car parking garage that monitors

ever cars movement for $30 an hour

·       Deposed Iraqi Leader Saddam Hussein’s

 Baghdad Bunker 6 foot steel-reinforced

concrete ceiling underground 100 feet

·       Granite Mt. Mormon Church Records

Facility 600 feet inside a mountain

With the global threats we have today there is real

 question to the security of any secure facility.

Each one of these 10 places are hard to get into and hard to get out of.

The Psalmist spends 13 verses in the 91st

 chapter describing a place more secure than

anything man has ever built or will build.

But what is the key to getting in?

The psalmist does not answer that question but God does.

In verse 14, God Himself speaks up and tells us the key.

What He is looking for is the very key to security.

God says…"Because he loves me,"

That is it! God will rescue those who love Him.

When we… “Love the Lord your God with all

 your heart and with all your soul and with all

 your mind.”… We are not far from His Kingdom.

This has always been the first commandment…

The key to security.  

 

Scripture Reading

Psalm 91:9-92:1 NIV

9 If you make the Most High your dwelling —

even the Lord, who is my refuge — 

10 then no harm will befall you,

no disaster will come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you

to guard you in all your ways;

12 they will lift you up in their hands,

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;

you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 "Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him;

I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble,

I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him

and show him my salvation."

Matthew 22:37-40 NIV

37 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart

 and with all your soul and with all your mind.'  

38 This is the first and greatest commandment.

 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'  

40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
