Jesus, I Really Need Your Security: Finding True Protection In Him
Life is full of uncertainties. We face challenges that seem too much to bear, and in those moments, the fear and anxiety of not feeling safe can overwhelm us. "Jesus, I really need Your security" becomes the desperate cry of our hearts. In a world that often feels dangerous and unpredictable, the need for security is more real than ever.
But there is a promise in the Tanakh, an eternal truth: God provides the security we need, and in Yeshua (Jesus), we find the ultimate protection. Let’s explore what Scripture says about the security we can have in Jesus, and how His love and care surround us no matter what storms we face.

God Promises to Be Our Refuge and Strength
In times of trouble, our first instinct is often to seek protection from external forces. However, true security doesn’t come from the world around us—it comes from knowing that God is our ultimate protector. The Tanakh reminds us repeatedly that God is a refuge for those who trust in Him. In Yeshua, this promise finds its fulfillment, as He is our secure refuge in every season of life.
"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1)
This verse is a powerful reminder that, with God as our fortress, there is nothing to fear. Yeshua embodies this security; He is the light that drives away darkness and the stronghold that shields us from harm. No matter what comes our way, we can rest in the assurance that our Savior is with us, and He is the ultimate security we need.

Jesus Offers the Peace That Guard Our Hearts
In a world filled with unrest, peace can seem elusive. But Jesus, the Prince of Peace, offers a security that goes beyond mere protection from harm. It’s a peace that transcends all understanding—one that guards our hearts and minds, even in the most uncertain times. This peace is available to us when we put our trust in Him.
"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." (Isaiah 26:3)
When you trust in Yeshua, He grants you a deep, unshakable peace. Even in moments of chaos and fear, His presence calms the storm within us. This is the security we need—a peace that guards us and reassures us that we are held safely in His care.

God Is Our Protector and Deliverer
Throughout the Tanakh, God is shown as a deliverer—one who rescues His people from danger and provides a safe place in times of need. In Yeshua, we see the ultimate deliverance. When we cry out to Him for security, He answers with His protection and His strength. Jesus is the one who guards us, heals us, and delivers us from whatever threatens us.
"The Lord will protect you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore." (Psalm 121:7-8)
This promise is echoed in Yeshua’s life and ministry. Jesus, in His love, provides protection not just in this life, but for eternity. The security we receive from Him is not temporary—it is everlasting, securing us both now and for all of eternity.

Jesus Is the Shepherd Who Keeps Us Safe
The imagery of the shepherd is a recurring theme in the Tanakh, symbolizing God’s loving care for His people. In Psalm 23, David speaks of God as his Shepherd, guiding, protecting, and providing for him. Jesus, in the New Testament, identifies Himself as the Good Shepherd, the one who lays down His life for His sheep. In Him, we find the ultimate security—one that comes with His personal care, guidance, and protection.
"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul." (Psalm 23:1-3)
When we allow Yeshua to be our Shepherd, we are assured of His constant presence. He provides for our needs, leads us to safety, and restores our soul. In the midst of life's dangers, Jesus, as our Shepherd, offers the security and peace that we crave.

God’s Protection Is Always Available to Us
Sometimes, it may feel like we’re walking through life alone, unprotected, or forgotten. But the Tanakh is filled with promises of God’s protection for His people. Whether facing enemies, hardships, or inner turmoil, God promises that He is always ready to intervene and provide security.
"The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them." (Psalm 34:7)
This verse offers a powerful image of God’s protection. His angels surround and guard those who trust in Him, delivering them from danger. In Jesus, this promise comes alive. He watches over us, protects us, and ensures our safety, especially when we call on Him for help.

Jesus Offers Eternal Security
There is no greater security than knowing that our future is secure in Him. Jesus offers us eternal life, and no earthly threat can take that away. The Tanakh speaks of the unshakable promises of God, and in Yeshua, these promises are fulfilled. In Him, we have an everlasting security that nothing on earth can ever take away.
"But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge." (Psalm 94:22)
When we trust in Yeshua, we find that He is our fortress—a place of absolute safety. Nothing can threaten our eternal security in Him. We are safe in His hands, and He will never let us go.
