As a people, we desire to be loved and to be noticed. It is these desires that "send us on a search for our Creator". But often times, our weaknesses, feelings and fears become distorted and override our faith. When this happens, the deep roots of insecurity plunge into our lives and we learn to cope instead of heal. God does not take our hurt and pain lightly. He desires to bring us "strength and dignity". He desires for us to live steadfast and to be ready to "discern between the truth and a lie". He desires to show us that "to find yourself, your true, secure self, you must lose yourself in something larger". God wants to be our security, to be our "strength in weakness"!! The Holy Spirit dwells in us. Therefore, we possess "all-surpassing power" in "jars of clay".
In this book, Moore strives to surface or unravel those events or circumstances that breed insecurity in us and bring us to the point where we have had enough and healing can begin. When we learn to recognize what triggers insecurity, "we have the power to chose whether or not it gets to assault our security. When we decide to be strong willed about what God strongly wills, that beloved, is the epitome of empowerment".
As the reader is lead on a petition to God over their insecurities and need for restoration, the soul is overwhelmed with the working of the Holy Spirit. We must chose to wage war on the battlefield of the mind. Only in focusing on the truths of who God declares we are, can we difuse the enemies control over us.
The Lord is your security. he will keep your foot from being caught in
a trap. Proverbs 3:26
He is your constant source of stability. Isaiah 33:6
