Never Leave Nor Forsake You

Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU, so that we confidently say, THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?" Hebrews 13:5-6

Never left behind, never forgotten, never rejected! What promises are these! What hope is this! Hope that keeps and preserves and shelters! Hope to latch onto, to fold away and place in your pocket for those rainy days…

Rainy days… like when the enemy of our soul whispers to our minds, ‘God’s not for you, he’s rejected you because of all the sin in your life’… What a lie of Satan… for God’s given us so many assurances… like 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

God’s not in the rejection business… He’s sent out a universal invitation that says, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 That passage indicates that God understands our daily plight… our daily struggle, the daily war that we are entangled with and that he’s ready to help.

Through His Word, through prayer, and through fellowship with other believers… God’s given you access to help. It is on us to accept this help, to believe His promises, and to walk towards the light he’s shown us.

God’s for us! He’s not a deserter but will stick with us as we stick with him. God’s in control and he has a plan for your life. What you are going through right now has a plan, a purpose, and a reason. When the times grow hard… grow closer by getting closer to God!
