Finishing our current series on Chasing Carrots, this past Sunday Pastor Joe spoke about finding the sweet spot of security. There are endless ways we pursue security—Glocks, savings accounts, home security doorbells and cameras, etc. Being secure is not wrong and there is a biblical and godly pursuit of security that requires work, wisdom and worship. These pursuits lead to God’s protection and a healthy security. 1. How does hard work lead to security according to Proverbs 12:11 and Proverbs 13:4?
2. How should verses like I Corinthians 10:31 and Colossians 3:23 influence our attitude about our work? Who are we seeking to please? Who is our Boss?
3. How do Proverbs 3:5-6 and 16:3 contradict our natural pursuit of security? Does trust in God’s plan and wisdom for your life currently provide you security? If so, how? If not, what should you do about it?
4. What does worship of God have to do with our individual security? How does focusing our lives on declaring God’s worth lead us to personal safety and security? According to Romans 12:1-2, is worship something that primarily occurs on Sunday mornings?
5. How should Psalm 84:10 influence our perspective on “security”? Is being “safe” more important than being where God wants us? Many Christians gather today around the world to worship God at great risk of persecution. Can we rightfully say that worship leads them to security? If so, how? If not, why?
