When the question of security is considered, the object which provides that security must be carefully examined. For one can trust in something that is no more solid than a spider's web.

"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses" (Psalm 20:7⁷Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. (Psalm 20:7)). Some "trust in princes" (Psalm 146:3³Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. (Psalm 146:3)); some in "lying words" (Jer. 7:8⁸Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. (Jeremiah 7:8)); others in images (Isa. 42:17¹⁷They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods. (Isaiah 42:17)); still others in their own works (Jer. 48:7⁷For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together. (Jeremiah 48:7)); and in their own hearts (Pro. 28:26²⁶He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. (Proverbs 28:26)). There is only One in whom we can confidently trust for security-and that is the Lord Jesus Christ!

"Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him." Psalm 2:12¹²Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. (Psalm 2:12).
