“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.'” – Hebrews 13:5
In a world of tremendous insecurity and uncertainty, Christians have something that is completely, 100% certain and secure! It isn’t our bank balance, home equity, or jewelry collection. It’s our God! God is present with us and He’ll never abandon or reject us.
More precious that cash, stocks, bonds, gold, or jewels is the never-ending, never-failing love and presence of God for all who’ve accepted Jesus Christ as Lord. Most Christians will go through hard times in their life, some much harder than others. Deprivation and loss may affect our finances, mental or physical health, safety, stability, relationships and many other things in this fallen world. After all, there is an active evil force at work in this world named Satan and there are many who succumb to his temptations. Nonetheless, our external circumstances and our common enemy the Devil can’t change God or His love and zeal for us in Jesus Christ.
If you’re in Christ, you may feel alone, but you aren’t. God IS with you. You may feel abandoned by God, but you aren’t. God IS with you. You may feel rejected by God, but you aren’t. God IS with you. The cross of Jesus Christ proves this beyond a shadow of a doubt. God gave His Son for you and He isn’t about to leave you now!
