Secured.

I must admit sometimes I envy my friends, to be specific my non-Christian high school friends. Why? Because every time I hear news about them I can see that they're doing great especially in their academics. They have gained a lot of academic achievements already. I can see that they already have a clear vision of their future. 


And me? Just an ordinary average student. Sometimes I feel like I am still clueless of what my future will be. Its like I still don't have any plans for my future. "What happened?" "What went wrong?" These are some of the questions I usually ask myself. 


I even ask God of what my future will be. Really. I keep on questioning God. Asking him why these things are happening. Am I really being busy for nothing? 


Certainly NOT! I was reminded of this bible verse.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. - Jeremiah 29:11

I know I should not be so afraid of my future because God is in control of my life. And that I am not working so hard in vain. All my hard works, even though this world may not see and understand it, will be rewarded by God in the right time. It is said in Matthew 6:33 that if we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, all these blessings will be given to us.

This is a season of trusting God. I may not see a clear vision of what my future will be, but I know I don't have to be insecure of the things around me. I don't have to be afraid because it is the Greatest Writer who's writing my story.

Our security should not be based on our grades, academic achievements, fame, nor position. We should only secure ourselves in God. And if we are secured in God, there's no room for insecurities in life.
