Living By Grace

Your conduct must be free from the love of money and you must be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you and I will never abandon you." -Hebrews 13:5

I remembered when this verse struck me way back 1999. My husband is a pastor, we got four kids and we did not have enough money to provide for all our needs and I need to stretch my budget up to the last centavo. It was so hard to live by faith but by God's grace we are able to cope up. And it's because we were sustained by the promises of God through his word. Many times God proved to me His faithfulness and His love through providing more than enough for all our needs.

All I want to do in that time was to follow Him. I didn't dare to do anything against His will. I didn't give up because I believed that He never left and abandoned us for we clung unto Him.

Our security and hope should come from God. We should still find our comfort and love from Him. That's the way we will be able to free ourselves from the love of money and the cares of this world. Declare that happiness and contentment should be found in Christ and fulfill through His Words.
