Hebrews 13:5-6 The Lord Is My Helper

Hebrews 13:5-6 (KJV)  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.  6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. 

Jesus said “Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” (Luke 12:15) The man in the parable died before he could build a bigger barn. He said in his heart, Soul, soul, thou has much goods laid up for many years, take thine ease, eat, drink and be merry. God said to him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So he that that layeth up treasure for himself is not rich toward God. 

We ought to be building our life centred upon our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the theme of the book of Hebrews. Jesus Christ is the Christian’s true security. He is Creator, Sustainer of this universe and Saviour. The book of Hebrews was written to prepare the Jewish Christians for a time of hardship and persecution for the faith where they would lose their homes and their livelihood. 

These are times of true testing and reckoning, times to experience the faithfulness and power of God in caring for His people. Faith believes that God will provide and He will not fail to provide. Amen.
