What sort of security do you
seek in life? Some of us seek plenty of wealth and property as a form
of security. Some seek fame, popularity and recognition as a form of
security. Some seek knowledge and power as a form of security. But the reality is that these forms of security are only temporary and one day, we
will lose them. How many of us are truly and consistently seeking God as our security, instead of all these temporary forms of security?
In
today's reading, the prophet Zechariah, in a vision, said that
Jerusalem was to remain unwalled. The reading assures us that God would be
the wall of fire for her all round her, and He will be her glory in the
midst of her. Jerusalem, by remaining unwalled, reminds us that, instead of relying on human forms
of security, we should rely more on God for our security. Are we
willing to let go of or be detached from any form of of temporary security,
and let God be our true and permanent security?
