"When I felt safe, I said, 'I will never fear.' Lord, in your kindness you made my mountain safe. But when You turned away, I was frightened."

~ Psalm 30: 6-7 (NCV) 

Mountains. They are huge and ginormous mounts of rocks on this earth. Created by the One and Only God who is so much bigger than them all. 

In the verse above. David is talking about how God protects his mountain and makes it safe. He said that when he felt safe by God, He will never fear. Never fear. But when David didn't have God He was frightened. Even though He had these mountains surrounding him. These huge mountains that were rock. He was still frightened when God wasn't by his side. It was because even though He was guarded by these huge mountains. He still wasn't safe. He was only safe when he had God. 

Sometimes I think we have our own mountains. Things that we can feel safe hiding behind or having. Things that we think will protect us. Maybe it's your security system in your home, all the money in your bank account, or possessions. Whatever it is. I'm sure its coming to your mind right now. Did you know that even though you have these things that make you secure, you're not really secure. God is the only thing that makes us truly secure. 

David figured this out. Even though He had this mountain around him, He still knew he wasn't safe. It was only when he had God he was safe. 

Our possession, money, savings, or anything else on this earth won't make us safe. No matter how safe we feel. God is the only true safety we have. And He is the only one we need. Remember that, as you go about your day or you go to bed. That nothing we have in this world will keep us safe. Even our big mountains that we have. Only God will be our true security. And He is fully reliable.
