Hebrews 13:5 - "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
“Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6, Joshua 1:5)
“Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6, Joshua 1:5)
I have left the Old Testament references in this post, because the readers of Hebrews would have known Deuteronomy and Joshua off-by-heart. This challenge was not something new to them, it was just that they were struggling to live it out. The same can be said for us. Knowing something to be wise and true, is one thing - but living it out, is the hard part!
Thought: Are you wrestling with contentment at the moment? How do the quotes from Joshua and Deuteronomy help you?
"Wisdom has no expiry date!"
Living in Grace
