Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of
my life;
and I will dwell in the house
of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23:6 NKJV
Insurance policies can be tricky. Most companies are legit but not all. Sometimes things change that no one can control, but the policy holder is always the one who suffers.
Upon early retirement, my husband’s employer guaranteed our
coverage (both life and health) would continue as long as he lived. Not so. Soon after retirement, our
medical premiums began to go up each year. They finally went up so high we
couldn’t afford them at all. Sometime later, we got a letter stating we no
longer had life insurance. At our age, we could only afford a very modest
policy.
With our home and auto insurance, every time we made a claim,
either our premium went up or they threatened to cancel.
It seems insurance is a necessary evil that is supposed to
cover you through accidents, sickness, natural disasters, and even death. But
as one writer puts it, the only policy that you can depend on—the one that
extends even beyond death—is the one God offers, paid in full by the blood of
Jesus. It can’t be canceled, and there is never any fine print.
If you’re a child of God, your future is secure. You are
covered for all eternity.
That’s the ultimate insurance policy.
