Life teaches us that everything changes—including ourselves. Our bodies age, ocean waves lap at the shores, forever changing them, and nothing stays exactly the same.

While it’s true that there is no such thing as total security on this earth, Jesus spoke about laying up “treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal” (Matthew 6:20). Here we see that the most important treasures lie beyond this world—in perfect security.

When we search for opportunities in this life and grasp those that become available, we place ourselves in a position of security that does not depend on hoarding what we have. But the greatest security of all is to be pleasing to God—for our future depends more on Him than on life itself. Of that we can be certain.
