Source of Security and Confidence

UV 3754/10000 Source of Our Security and Confidence Let your character ( your moral essence, your inner nature) be free from the love of money (shun greed- be financially ethical), being content with what you have; for He has said, “ I WILL NEVER ( under any circumstances) DESERT YOU (nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless), nor WILL I FORSAKE or LET YOU DOWN or RELAX MY HOLD ON YOU. Hebrews 13 v 5 The Lord will provide for His faithful like He provided for Elijah through bread brought by a raven. The raven symbolizes the worldly, the greedy and the Lord can cause the greedy and worldly to give us bread to meet our need. We ourselves should not have a ravenous appetite but be contented with what the Lord provides, unaffected by love of money which the word declares as the root of all evil. The Lord promises in this uni-verse as in numerous other parts of scripture to provide for us, never to desert or forsake or give up on us. He will never let us down or let go of His hand on us. The promise of God to be with us, to provide for us, NEVER to DESERT or FORSAKE US is the root of our contentment. It is the permanent source of our security. We are freed from the fear of want, fear of death, fear of penalty of sin, free from the threats of powerful and formidable enemies. Like the widow’s oil in the time of Elijah, our oil or anointing will never run out. We have the certainty, the assurance, the guarantee of total protection and holistic provision of the Lord. He never withholds any good thing from us. We can depend on Him as our source of strength, provision, promotion, protection, guidance, deliverance. He has a firm hold on our wrist so that we can rest in confidence in Him. Therefore, we need to cleave to God and never leave His presence willfully or unconsciously. We need to cling to Him for dear life. We need to be desperate for God and He will never let us be frustrated or defeated by the enemy. He turns our “hamartia’ or shortcoming in all aspects of life into abundance. He vindicates us and defends us. The Holy Spirit is our Comforter, Adviser, Guide. Jesus is both Advocate and High Priest for us at the right hand of the Father. He works out all things for our good.
