* We have five core human needs - security, identity, belonging, purpose, competence.

* This verse is the very middle verse in the Bible.

* The words “the Lord” are the middle of the verse.

* At the core of the Bible is “trust in the Lord.”

* Security is our #1 core human need.

* Everything hinges on security.

* It answers the question, “Who can I trust?”

* If you place your trust in the Lord you are held together like a book.

* Like the binding in a book - the pages are held together.

* That’s what this verse does with the Bible - it’s what holds the whole thing together.

* Trust in the Lord!
