PROMISE #73 - MARCH 14
Promise #73:
I will never abandon you.
Hebrews 13:5 (WEB)
Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have,
for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”
In today's Bible verse, the writer of Hebrews encourages us to be content with our lives because our God and Father has promised never to leave or forsake us. Knowing our Papa's closeness, we can take a deep breath and rest in His nearness. We don't have to be anxious about anything. We don't have to covet anything because we have all that we need in the arms of our Heavenly Father.
If we are not convinced that everything we need can be found in the intimacy and fellowship found in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we will seek other things to be satisfied. However, if we truly believe in our hearts that God will never leave or forsake us, we will know that we have found the pearl of great price.
No matter where you go, God goes with you. If you have received the free gift of Jesus' life, you are the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, whether you feel His presence or not. God will NOT abandon you! He is closer to you than you possibly could imagine.
My prayer for each of us is that we will be convinced more of this promise today than ever! He will never leave you or forsake you...never!

Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank You for loving me with a steadfast love that never changes. Help me walk in the tangible fellowship of Your abiding presence today, so I will never feel alone on this journey. I pray for godly contentment to rest upon me in whatever circumstances I may face, so I can be satisfied with everything You have provided for me in this day.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
I will never abandon you.
