You Are Chosen by Him
Dr RJ Sing
“I have called you back from the ends of the earth and said that you must serve but me alone, for I have chosen you and will not throw you away. 10 Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed. I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.”
While dealing with the Subject of Rejection, let us look at Insecurity. What is insecurity? It is a psychological disturbance that is now of epidemic proportions. Many people in the world today are insecure. In fact, more people today may be insecure than secure.
However, when we study the Word of God, there are some great Scriptures that promise us that we can be secure through Jesus Christ. Simply put, God wants you to be secure. Listen to what Paul prayed for the Church: “That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love.” (Ephesians 3:17 NKJV)
Your security does not depend on your money, wealth or job, the way you look and how others respond to you or even how they treat you. Don’t base your security on your education, the label of your clothes, the car you drive or the kind of house you live in. Don’t base your security on whether you are married or single or whether you have children or not. Don’t place your security in anything other than Jesus Christ and Him alone. He alone is the rock upon which you must stand.
