Where does your security lie? Is God your refuge, your hiding place, your stronghold, your shepherd, your counselor, your friend, your redeemer, your saviour, your guide? If He is, you don't need to search any further for security.

Elisabeth Elliot
About This Quote

The question, "Where does security lie?" is a classic that seems to have been around for centuries. It comes from the Bible, specifically from Psalm 23. The "where" refers to the place where you find security and safety and protection and refuge and shelter and security and comfort and peace and rest and happiness and joy and satisfaction and fulfillment. Even though we live in a fast-paced world today, we can still find those things if we turn to God.

He has all of those things as well as many more as well as they are found in His Word. And they don't come from some source outside of Himself, like a job or a house or money or anything else outside of Him. All those things that we seek after are found inside of Him because He is the source of all those things.
