Christ’s Compassion for the Insecure

We are continuing today to look at Christ’s compassion for each of us, but particularly – those of us who deal with insecurity. Insecurity is the lack of confidence, being uncertain about yourself or matters relating to you. One of the biggest struggles of life occurs when we have lost our value and our confidence. Jesus gives us the answer to this dilemma in Luke 12:24 when He says, “Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet GOD FEEDS THEM. OF HOW MUCH MORE VALUE are YOU than the birds!”

Each of us deals with matters of insecurity – - we all do. It may relate to our future, our needs, our appearance, our self-esteem, or our health. It might be that we feel rejected, insignificant, or unimportant. We may have had dreams die, unanswered prayers, or unmet goals. Any of these things or many others may cause insecurity in our lives. So how do we deal with all of this?

Make the following three declarations that stand against your insecurities:

1. God will take care of me.
2. God will meet my needs.
3. I am valuable to God.

The next time one of those feelings of insecurity occurs or attacks you, depend on Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and make one or all of these declarations to God, yourself, and against Satan himself. Our greatest need is always spiritual. Ultimately, Jesus is the ONLY ONE who can make you know you are valuable.
