Those who trade liberty for security have neither. (John Adams, 2nd president of the United States)
In days of turmoil, stress, and fear, people are looking for security. When life and possessions are threatened, some look for a deliverer, and they are ready to pay just about any price. But Adams’ warning is significant; you may lose more than you gain.
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. (Psalm 4:8)
