Verse(s) For Week March 5-11, 2008
He is Our Helper
Hebrews 13:5-6 "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. "
Are you content with the things that God has provided for you? You should be. We have to stop trying to buy everything we see or wanting everything that everyone else has. God never intended for us to continually chase after worldly things. We are supposed to be content with what God gives us. He promised that He will never leave us and He won't forsake us.
Forsake means to "leave someone who needs or counts on you" according to the dictionary at die.net (http://dictionary.die.net/forsake). It also says forsake means to abandon, desert or withdraw from. This means that God tells that he will not abandon us. He will never leave us. With that promise, what else do we need on this earth. God takes care of our needs - NOT OUR WANTS!
As long as we depend on Him and don't get caught up in worldly possessions, we can assure ourselves that "the Lord is my helper." If that is so, then there is nothing that man can plan against us that will matter. There is nothing man can do to us that will make any difference. How can I say that? Because of God's promises in these verses. He promises:
1) "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
2) "The Lord is my helper."
3) "I will not fear what man shall do unto me."
I don't know about you, but I will rest much easier knowing that God has given us these promises. May God bless you and give you the strength to continue on, standing boldly on these three promises every day.
Until next time,
Linda Sedrick Pearson
