You Think Money Will Protect You. Here's What Actually Happens.

Most of us are working towards financial security - as if a big enough cushion will keep us safe from everything. But the Bible tells us something different. Real security isn't something you can save up for. It's a person you trust.

This is day 3 of our 7-day Bible devotional series on *money, faith, and discipleship*. Today we tackle the big question: what does real security actually look like - and why does the thing we're working hardest to build so often give us the least peace?

*From 1 Timothy 6:17-19 and Psalm 73:16-17 (NLT)*

*TIMESTAMPS*

0:00 - Introduction: The security illusion
0:42 - The people who look most secure are sometimes the most fragile (Psalm 73)
2:02 - Real security is a person you trust, not a thing you have (1 Timothy 6:17)
3:15 - The more you have, the more you have to worry about
4:15 - Today's challenge: Write down one worry and remind yourself you're not alone

*TODAY'S CHALLENGE*

Write down one thing you've been worrying about financially. Just one. Then write underneath it: **"I am not alone in this."**

You don't have to have it all figured out. The God who made heaven and earth hasn't looked away.
