Today was the day I’ve been planning for since December! The Beth Moore “So Long, Insecurity” simulcast at our church. What a blessing it was to worship with the 150 women in our sanctuary, and knowing we were joined by 869 other hosts sites and 300,000 other women! Praise God!
Before I get into what happened at the event, I need to brag on my husband. Knowing how nervous I would be last night, he not only helped set up at the church, but spent a good 15 minutes before we went to bed praying over me. When I thanked him, his response was “well, Beth Moore’s husband does that, so why shouldn’t I?” To make it even better, I never even told him that! He remembered it from a comment she made at a marriage simulcast we attended last year. God is good to have given me this man! Oh and after the simulcast, he helped clean up, drove my weary self to Lifeway to return books, and when we got home he had roses for me and cooked an AMAZING dinner. It’s too much. Really. I’m blessed.
Beth spoke on Ephesians 4 – 5, pulling 6 statements that describe a secure woman:
A secure woman is:
Saved from herself
Entitled to truth
Clothed with intention
Upended by grace
Rebounded by love
Exceptional in life
And to end with this powerful commissioning was amazing:
My Dear Sister
If Christ is Your Savior
You are the dwelling place
Of His own Spirit
You have it IN YOU
to be secure.
Every day of your life
You have a choice to make
You can live in your old defeat
Or you can turn from your unbelief
And choose life
Make up your mind
To put off the old you
And put on the new you.
Never, ever, ever forget
That the Lord is your security.
He will keep your foot
From being caught in a trap.
He will take care of you
To your very last breath.
Now, leave this place
And go out into the world
And act like a person
Who knows she’s dearly loved.
You were born to be exceptional.
So, Girlfriend, go forth
And walk worthy of your calling.
You are clothed in strength and dignity!
Now unto Him
Who can keep you from falling
Be glory and majesty
Power and authority
Through Jesus Christ our Lord
Now and forever more
Amen.
So Long, Insecurity!
