READ: Hebrews 12:18-13:6

Verse of the Day: Hebrews 13:5

Devotional Message:
(Hebrews 13:5)
"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.'"

Observation:
This verse is a reminder of what truly matters in life. We often find ourselves chasing after money, possessions, or achievements, thinking they will bring us happiness. We believe that if we just get that promotion, buy that new house, or reach a certain goal, we’ll finally be satisfied.

But the reality is, these things never fully satisfy us. The more we get, the more we want. It’s like trying to fill a bottomless pit—no matter how much we put in, it's never enough. This verse tells us to let go of our desire for more and to find contentment in what we already have.

Why? Because God Himself promises that He will never leave us or forsake us. Our security and peace don’t come from things—they come from knowing that we have a faithful God who is always with us. When we understand that God’s presence is more valuable than any wealth or possession, we can truly be content.

Application:
So, how do we apply this to our daily lives? Start by looking at what you already have. Instead of focusing on what you don’t have, focus on the blessings that God has already given you—your family, friends, health, or even the little things that bring you joy each day. Practice gratitude by writing down three things you're thankful for every day. This will help shift your perspective from what’s missing in your life to what’s present.

Next, trust in God's promise that He will always be with you. This means that even when things don’t go your way, when the bills pile up, or when you feel alone, you can be at peace because God is right there with you. His presence is constant, no matter the circumstances. He never leaves us even when people do or when things we love are taken away. God’s love and support are always there.

Let’s also make a conscious decision to be content. This doesn’t mean we stop striving to improve ourselves or our situation. It means that our joy and peace are not dependent on the things we own or the success we achieve, but on our relationship with God. When we are content in Him, we can live a life free from worry and fear because we know that no matter what happens, God will take care of us.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for Your promise to never leave us or forsake us. Help us to find contentment not in material things but in Your unchanging presence. Teach us to be grateful for what we have and to trust that You will always provide for our needs. Fill our hearts with peace, knowing that You are with us every step of the way. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
