Scriptures on Insecurity




Secure in Heart - Chapter Three
All That Glitters: Unmasking False Securities

(p. 53)
But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ… And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness.
—2 Corinthians 11:3, 14–15

(p. 56)
This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.
—Revelation 13:18

(p. 56)
Naaman's servants went to him and said, "My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, 'Wash and be cleansed'!” So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy.
—2 Kings 5:13–14

(p. 57)
See Genesis 41

(p. 57)
Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
Then the LORD said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have all the people give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the people will go up, every man straight in.”
—Joshua 6:1–5

(p. 57)
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in your faith…
—1 Peter 5:8–9a

(p. 59)
Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
—1 Corinthians 4:5

(p. 59)
Then she instructed him to say to Mordecai, “All the king's officials and the people of the royal provinces know that for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned the king has but one law: that he be put to death. The only exception to this is for the king to extend the gold scepter to him and spare his life. But thirty days have passed since I was called to go to the king.”
 
When Esther's words were reported to Mordecai, he sent back this answer: “Do not think that because you are in the king's house you alone of all the Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?”
 
Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.”
So Mordecai went away and carried out all of Esther's instructions.
—Esther 4:10–17

(p. 60)
See
Ruth 1:8–22

(p. 63)
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and goodness.
—2 Peter 1:3

(p. 64)
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
—1 John 2:15

(p. 64)
For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful woman, the lust of her eyes and the boasting of what she has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the woman who does the will of God lives forever.
—1 John 2:16–17

(p. 65)
Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
—Proverbs 13:12
 
(p. 69)
As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
 
“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.’”
 
“Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”
 
Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
 
At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.

    Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it
    is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”
    —Mark 10:17–23
