Do you feel insecure? The desire to feel secure is foundational for psychological development. In part one of our series On Repeat: The Psalms' Greatest Hits, Pastor Eric Robertson explores one of the most powerful themes in the Psalms—security. As human beings, we all seek stability, but no amount of money, success, or preparation can provide the unshakable foundation we long for. Psalm 125:1-2 reminds us that true security comes from trusting in the Lord, not in our own strength.

Psalm 125: 1-2:  Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore.

Life is full of uncertainties, and insecurity often comes from within rather than external circumstances. We chase financial success, relationships, and control, yet they leave us feeling just as vulnerable.

Our biggest threat to our sense of security comes from insecurity.

The problem isn't just that the world is uncertain—the problem is that we are. Even when life is stable, we struggle with insecurity.

Insecurity is a feeling of self-doubt or a lack of confidence. Emotionally, it makes you feel like you're on roller skates but don't know how to skate. That is the feeling that we, as a society, run from.

Psalm 46: 1-3 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging

The Psalmist doesn't say that troubles will never come, but that in the midst of them, GOD IS OUR REFUGE. It's His presence, not our circumstances, that make us secure.

The Psalms repeat this truth over and over—when life shakes us, we have a shelter that never fails.

Join us as we discuss what it means to take refuge in God, let go of self-reliance, and find peace in His presence. When trouble comes, where do you run?
