One of my favorite verses in the Bible comes from Hebrews.
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)
Meditating on this verse brings me a sense of great hope. I use this verse to encourage myself whenever I have concern about whether or not God will come through and meet my needs. In this passage, the Lord is letting us know that we do not need to have our minds set on money. We do not need to worry about how we are going to take care of ourselves, because He will take care of those things for us. He has promised never to fail us or forsake us.
This verse reminds me to do my part (tithing, sharing, praying and trusting), but not to do God's part. The load is too heavy to bear! If we are not careful, we will break under the weight of all the worry and stress.
