I am reading Beth Moore's latest book, So Long Insecurity. I had attended a one-day satellite conference of hers because I was offered a free ticket. At the time I had no idea what she would be speaking on but I'll take a free ticket to hear Beth any day. She's inspiring, entertaining and makes no bones about her passion for God and His Word.
When she started speaking about insecurity I thought it would be a "yawner" for me as I am not, for the most part, insecure. About midway through her session I realized that while I may not feel insecure in man's world, I feel somewhat insecure in God's world. Growing up an Army brat where moving was a regular part of life, I accepted that adjusting to new, to change was my "normal" and I learned how to negotiate that life with ease.
But in the past several years I have been asked to step out to do God's calling and I must confess that almost every time I'm asked I think, "Me? Why me? I'm not qualified. Not spiritual enough. What do I possibly have to offer?" Yep, insecurity raising it's ugly little head.
My security comes from my position as a beloved child of God. We all are. My insecurity comes from thinking He didn't choose the right person when He calls me to do something. When am I going to get it that He knows what He's doing?
