11/16/2010 - Hebrews 13:5-6 Who Do You Fear?

Posted in Unspecified

SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 13:5-6 Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” 6 So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?”

OBSERVATION: Even though it refers to money, this passage is about so much more--something deeply profound and that is the answer to this question: "What are you afraid of?" Most of us live out lives afraid of or messed up by what people can do to us. The reason we often find it so hard to trust God is that we have more fear of humans than we have of God.
Some how this simple message needs to get pressed deeply into our souls: God says: “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” How profoundly different out lives would be if we truly believed that. Gone would be the fear of rejection. Gone would be our tendency to try to meet our own needs in fleshly ways. Gone would be the anxiety and worry that consumes so many of us so much of the time.

APPLICATION: I am not there yet but I am learning it--God will never leave me or forsake me. I don't have to be afraid.

PRAYER: Dear Lord help me to hear You say this to my soul. Help me to live like it is true--You will never fail me, You will never abandon me. I want to live like that is true.
