True Security

So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” Hebrews 13:6

The author of Hebrews gives his readers a powerful foundation for contentment. After instructing them to resist loving money, he uses an important word: “because.” He connects this command to God’s unwavering promise. Their ability to live free from the love of money was rooted in something far more significant—the guaranteed presence of the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, who promised never to abandon his people. Their confidence is in God’s help, not their money.

We don’t have to love money because the love of God is enough. God promised to never leave us or forsake us. Our ability to live a contented life will be primarily based on remembering the truths of the gospel and God’s great love for us. God loved us enough to send his only Son to live and die in our place. It is his love that then compels us with a sense of security and has the power to transform our lives from living for ourselves to living for him (2 Corinthians 5:15). As believers, we must learn to remember the truths of the gospel and the one whose love is better than life (Psalm 63:3).

TODAY: In your gratitude journal, write down three specific ways God has demonstrated his faithfulness in your life. Then, join the Ada Bible Worship Team as they sing “Firm Foundation.” Let the lyrics remind you that “He’s never let me down. He’s faithful through generations.” As you worship, ask God to help you remember that he is enough.
