Insecurity

A few weeks back it occurred to me that our idea of insecurity may not be so accurate, or rather, its existence and acceptance in our lives must be addressed. Insecurity is defined as: lack of confidence, or assurance; self-doubt. It's synonyms are: shakiness and vulnerability.
And there in lies the problem. As a child of God, called to be re-born, re-generated, ever growing and deepening in faith and the promises from the throne; where is there room and reasonable clause for a lack of confidence or assurance. Are we not promised that God will work ALL things for good for those He has called and whom love him (Rom.8:28)? Or is that just another scriptural cliche we throw the way of some bummed out friend?
We have grown accustomed to and accepted insecurity in not only in our personal lives, but in the cooperate life of the church. It's no wonder any individual and even the church sit around and wonder in dismay why the same struggles persistently circulate and cycle in our lives--both as individuals and as a cooperate body.
As this occurred to me, a revelation came with it.

What if insecurities are not so much insecurities as we understand them, but in fact the evidential fruit(s) of lack of faith

and downright disobedience?

Insecurity takes on a whole other face when you see it that way, when you look at it as the fruit and manifestation of short-changed faith and utter disobedience!
Think about it for a minute. We are not called to faith in ourselves, but in Christ. Therefor, why would we allow "self-doubt" to govern or have any authority in our hearts and thoughts? Yet we do. Furthermore, working with the synonym of vulnerability in relation to insecurity is a terribly perplexing thing. Being vulnerable, arguably, might be one of the most demanding calls for any individual. To be seen as we really are is a terrifying notion, let alone reality. Everyday, via Facebook, Twitter, fashion, gaming, and any other form of media or expression people strive to create a persona that is acceptable, appealing, and transcendent. However, in most cases this "persona" is a white-walled tomb and a facade of any authentic representation of whom the individual truly is. This is a topic in itself for another day, however.
If we are to be caught up, defined by, and In Jesus Christ himself, where is there grounds for insecurity and vulnerability? As a child of God we should be the most secure, grounded, confident, and courageous people to walk His creation. After-all, the victory is won, and it is ours through our inheritance in Christ Jesus!
