"Keep your lives
free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has
said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
{Hebrews 13:5} (NIV1984)
What do we
need more than the Presence of God? Moses didn’t want to go anywhere unless God
Himself was with him (Ex 33)! God’s Presence calmed David as he walked through
the valley of the shadow of death (Ps 23).
We think, “Well I do enjoy the
Presence of God, but I also need money today, I need food today, I need health
today, I need safety today, I need someone to love me today, I need justice
today, etc, etc.” These things are true, but we are looking at them wrong. If
the choice was between any/all of those things and the Presence of the Most
High God - if we had to choose - friend, what would our choice be? This verse
gives Christians a reason for contentment. The reason is that our Lord has
promised us that He will never leave us, nor forsake us. That means that in your
need, whatever need you find yourself in today – in that need God’s Presence is
with you, His promised Holy Spirit abides in you, Eternal Life is yours! Praise
His precious Name!
