How would you answer the question, “where do you find security?”
Human are wired for protection and security.
Psalm 125 addresses this.
The Psalm begins with “Those who trust…?
Who do you trust?
Where do you find security?
Psalm 125 answers the question.
There are two types of people: those who trust and follow God’s heart and those who trust themselves and follow their own heart.
