"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)
Lately, this particular Scripture has been a source of great comfort to me, as is really, the whole book of Hebrews. A few weeks ago my eyes kept going back to the phrase "I will never leave you nor forsake you..." and I took in the greater meaning of the words. As has been my experience, many people I loved have "left". Either died or literally and figuratively left.
Time and time again it seems as though God rips out my heart, when in fact, He is refining and purifying my heart and my life. Teaching me right from wrong and teaching me that I only need Him to rely upon. But most of all, teaching me that He is always there for me, will always be there for me and will never leave me. He is the One who has never moved. I have.
Michael Card pens Hebrews 13:5 beautifully and I have derived such a sense of comfort from these beautiful words:
"Trust in Me. Keep your life free from what the love of money will do, am I not enough for you?
And when you fear the scars and tears, remember what I have sworn, I'll be with you through the storm.
Never will I leave you, that's something I'll never do. Forever remember that it's true; never will I leave you.
And when you fear, that's when I am near. Your soul's security, Oh when will you believe?"
