God’s Word offers an alternative, an adventure, if you will. When we pour out our lives for others as Christ poured out his life for us, we live in need of divine intervention. King David understood that therein lies the only hope of true security. Psalm 121 reads, “I lift up my eyes to the hills- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip – he who watches over you will not slumber…the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” It is self-sacrifice and not self-preservation that forces dependence on a perfect God. Christ also understood this concept and poured out his own life, admonishing his disciples and all who would come after to do the same.
