I am reading again the famous book by Andrew Murray on the book of Hebrews, The Holiest of All. Years ago Michael read it and was greatly impacted. Because of its affect on him, I read it, or started to read it, when he had finished. I am a little embarrassed to admit that reading it was drudgery then. (In fact, I don’t think I finished it.) But I picked it up again at the beginning of this year and there is so much LIFE in it this time!

For instance, Murray writes, “His faithfulness is our security,” What a powerful statement! Jesus is faithful to the Father and faithful to us. While He was on the earth we saw Him do all and only what the Father told Him to do. He never failed in any obedience and He never added to His assignments. He did exactly what the Father told Him to do. What perfect submission! What absolute faithfulness!

Because we witnessed His faithfulness to the Father, we can trust His faithfulness to us. He will do everything He promised. It is His Nature to be faithful to the Father and to His word. He will complete what He started in me. He will never leave me. He will never forsake me. He will always sustain me. He will always provide for me. He will always protect me. This means

• when I don’t feel His presence my feelings are deceiving me;
• whatever I don’t have, I don’t need;
• whatever I am facing will eventually benefit me;
• when I am weak He is strong in me;
• when I am fearful I have forgotten these things.

His faithfulness is my security.

I am completely dependent upon Jesus, and even that brings me security because He is faithful and He is strong. With all my life I trust Him.
