Who Do You Rely Upon?

“Let your character be free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, ‘I will never desert you , nor will I ever forsake you’, so that we confidently say, ‘The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What shall man do to me?’” Hebrews 13:5-6

I confess that I have often had to ask the Lord’s forgiveness for not always being content with all the wonderful things He’s blessed me with. And the greatest blessings He’s lavished upon me are so much more precious than what money can buy; a good marriage, a peaceful home, a wonderful church family and so much more that I couldn’t begin to name them all. He’s never deserted or forsaken me and I pray today for the confidence to say, “You, Lord are all the help I need and because You will never forsake me I will not be afraid.” Let that be your prayer today as you rely upon His word and His help in every situation you encounter.

I think that one of the saddest occurrences in our society today is the huge debt that we as a people have incurred in the pursuit of things. We might argue that we don’t love money but we certainly are fond of the things it can buy. I know I surely need to remind myself occasionally that my Heavenly Father is really all I need and my heart’s desire is that He would be all that I want as well.
