Dear friend,
"Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Heb. 13:5).
Obviously money is a necessity for most of us. We need it to pay our bills, buy food for our families, and meet other obligations. But every mature person knows that money cannot bring you contentment. For that you must look somewhere else.
Contentment in this life never comes from having enough things, it comes from having God in your life. Money, property, other people, and even your own health fade away, but God is eternal. He is always there for you. "He will never leave you or forsake you." Knowing that He will always take care of you brings contentment into your life no matter what your outward circumstances are. If you belong to God in Christ Jesus, then He is your inheritance, your reward, your hope, and your contentment.
Never love money or look for happiness in the illusion of financial security. Instead find the peace, joy, and contentment that comes from resting in His promise.
Your friend,
Stephen
