THE 26th OF DECEMBER

THE LORD IS OUR PROVIDER, IF WE TRUST IN HIM

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” – Hebrews 13:5-6

Our character shows who we really are. If we love God with all our hearts, trusting Him and not our bank accounts and being honest people in every area of life, including finances, we can be content and happy with as much as we have. The level of joy and gratitude in our hearts proves how much we really trust God’s promises that we find in His Word. The Lord is faithful in fulfilling His promises but if we do not really believe that they are for us, we will never receive them.

There are many places in the Old Testament where God promised His children that He would “never leave or forsake” them. This is true for all of us, no matter if we are Jews or Gentiles, as long as Jesus is our Lord and Savior. It is so true that “we may boldly say” that we have no reason to fear any man, as long as the Lord is our helper. We can take courage in God’s protection and care and have no fear of people. Being God’s children, even if our physical bodies get killed, we will instantly be in the presence of Jesus in heaven, where He went to prepare a special place for each of us for all eternity.

SUGGESTED PRAYER

Father God, I am so blessed to be Your child and be protected by Your love. Please help me to be transformed, by the renewing of my mind, with Your Word, through the Holy Spirit and be free of the love of money and greed, have integrity and the character that proves that You live in me. Thank You Lord so much for being my helper and for never leaving or forsaking me. You are always with me, so I have no reasons to fear people or anything else. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.
