Home security…

As a homeowner or even a renter, we want to protect our property and the possessions inside. So what we do is invest in a home security system or get renter’s insurance to ensure that we get back what gets stolen, damaged or lost. But how would it work as designed when one homeowner gives the spare key or code to the intruder?

For example, consider when selling a home and the potential buyer questions why the current homeowner has a security system in a neighborhood that by statistics and general environment seems unlikely to have a high crime rate. The intent of the owner, of course, to protect the investment of his property from future attempts of a break in, destruction of what’s inside and the pride of homeownership. And that shouldn’t come to an explanation at all. No debate. And to segue to the spiritual aspect as the child of the Most High…I believe I should never have to accept un-welcomed guest(s) in my home if I desire to safeguard my family.

…as a faithful believer of the Word of God, enemies come to steal, kill and destroy. Am I wrong to protect my home? If you aren’t invited into my sacred sanctuary then I don’t understand why coming at night when I am asleep makes it okay. I suppose if the other person in the house lets you in and has handed out the spare or given you the code then I don’t have any other choice but to move out. I never wanted to live in a playhouse.

I have accepted that a home can be built anywhere but it’s the foundation that makes it a stable and secure home. I recall the homes of the 3 Little Pigs.. of straws, of sticks and of bricks. I believe that mine was being built and renovated out of all three but with an added security protection of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. With this peace in my soul, I am faithful and hopeful for a future of a more suitable home in divine time. I need God to be my co-signer.

Where I won’t ever feel spiritually evicted.

God is inside of me. I will protect him with my life. My personal home security requires two core fundamental covenants: trust and honesty. Their codes are quite simple and not everyone is meant to respect and secure them. And that is the beauty of life. All things working for the good and only in the accordance of God’s purpose while there are many options in home security and many points of entry in a home, I pray that God keeps me still and Still. So when handing out the code to your home one has to be sure to also accept that not everyone given the code will do right because squatters need a place to plot and play but not to live.

ADT is a popular home security company and trusted. I like to think of ADT as Always Demanding Trust. How else can you sleep in peace at night when the alarm is always going off…
