Hebrews 13:5

Hebrews 13:5 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. I heard a preacher say years ago, “If your income doesn't match your outgo, your upkeep may be your downfall.” Confusing? Not really. There are two ways to balance your finances: either make more money to pay for everything that you are buying, or spend less money to match the money that you are earning at your job. Our verse says to do the last one. We watch commercials on TV and think that we need new things: a new car; new clothes; fancier tools; an expensive vacation. But our verse says that we should be content with what we have. If God is our heavenly Father, He will take care of our needs. So we should be satisfied with what God gives to us. Isn’t it good to know that God will never ever leave us? God will never forsake us – He will always take care of His dear children. So whatever He gives us, we should be content with it. We don’t need more money to pay for more stuff; we need to be content with the money and the stuff that God gives us. Be satisfied with what God has given to us. Be satisfied with God Himself. He is enough.
