The Insecurity Of Security

What makes anyone become insecure;
what makes them live in doubt;
pride can become insecurity’s cure;
unless pride decides to shout.

For pride has been known to go too far;
risking that its host might fall;
pride redefines who and what we are;
ignoring the Master’s call.

Pride’s security becomes insecurity;
often becoming reckless and vain;
ignoring faith and rejecting purity;
wearing sin’s ugly stain.

Pride considers himself above the rest;
no one can ever bring him down;
certainty guides him through each quest;
yet, willingly, he becomes a clown.

Pride is most willing to mount God’s throne;
believing he can best the Master;
without God’s omnipotence; pride is alone;
and reality turns into disaster.

All must have pride in God, alone;
God’s answer to fear, is mercy;
for pride’s weakness, God can atone;
only our Master is worthy.

Faith is our link to all peace and security;
pride was the prodigal in heaven above;
God’s righteousness leads each to purity;
the security of God leads to love.
