Safest In God!
"For you died, and your life is
hidden with Christ in God."
Colossians 3: 3
What’s the most secure place in the world? You may think the White
House or the Kremlin, but many security experts would point to the
Cheyenne Mountain Complex in Colorado. It’s an emergency military
center buried two thousand feet below dirt and serves as an alternate
command center for North American Aerospace Defense Command
(NORAD).
Beneath the ground are elaborate tunnels and fifteen
buildings mounted to shock absorbing springs, capable
of withstanding a thirty-megaton nuclear blast.
But even inside Cheyenne Mountain, a woman might have
a heart attack; a man might have a stroke; a military general
might unknowingly be suffering a fatal but undetected illness.
Even in Cheyenne Mountain, an airman might suffer depression
or an engineer might face heartbreak. True security is only found
in our relationship with Christ. Psalm 27:5
says, “For in the time
of trouble He shall hide me in His
pavilion.”
Our lives are hidden with Christ in God, and when Christ
who is our life appears, then we'll also appear with Him
in glory. In Him, we are safe and secure from all harm.
"Our only strength, our only security is in Christ;
our only hiding place - the Rock of Ages."
Frederick Whitfield
