One of the basic needs of being human is to have safety and security. We all deserve that and should have it for ourselves and help others have it – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
But sometimes our identity is tied up into what we believe will give us safety and security, and make us whole, when really these are just false programs of happiness at play. When we are gripping onto these things tightly, we are either hiding – playing small and staying silent or striving – exerting ourselves in ways that aren’t aligned with who we really are. All to try and gain some sense of safety and security.
In this episode we will identify a time where we experienced chaos and look at the boundary lines we have created for ourselves. We will determine if our sense of worth is tied into the safety and security of these boundary lines, and then let them go, trusting in the boundary lines set out for us by our creator.
Listening portion:
Psalm 16: 5-8 NIV
Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup;
You make my lot secure.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
Surely I have a delightful inheritance.
I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;
Even at night my heart instructs me.
I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
With the Lord at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
