When we think things are out of our scope and out of of our power, God is in control. His presence is inevitable in our lives. The example from the Bible is the story of Joseph and his experiences in Egypt. He was sold into slavery by his brothers, became a servant in the foreign land, was wrongly accused by Potipher’s wife, then imprisoned and apparently abandoned. He never abandoned his prayers to God, and that impressed a few people in the prison. When God knew the time was right, Joseph was put in the presence of the king to interpret a recurring dream. Joseph predicted the drought coming, was made Prime Minister of sorts and saved the country from ruin. His family came to Egypt in dire need and Joseph had pity on them, saving them and perpetuating the remnant of Israel.
We have no security from harm by owning a certain car, home, etc. Our security is from being a child of God. We live in the presence of God through his holy spirit which Jesus promised us when he bodily left the earth. If God gave his son for our sins, then why wouldn’t we trust him to provide for our needs and our salvation?
