Scripture Meditation No. 1733
AATHAVAN – 05.11.2025, Wednesday
“Make sure that your
character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for
He Himself has said, ‘I will never desert you, nor will I ever abandon you.’”
(Hebrews 13:5, NASB)
As we have often seen in
previous meditations, earning money and loving money are two
entirely different things. It is not wrong to earn money, but it is wrong to
become a lover of money. The love of money provokes within man a craving to
imitate others who are wealthy and pushes him toward wrong and deceitful ways
to accumulate riches.
That is why today’s verse
instructs us: “Make sure that your character is free from the love of money,
being content with what you have.” This means we must work hard and earn
our living, yet even if we do not attain abundant material blessings, we should
live with a heart that says, “What I have is sufficient,” without comparing
ourselves with others.
The verse further continues:
“For He Himself has said, ‘I will never desert you, nor will I ever abandon
you.’” When we live with a contented heart, the Lord promises never to
forsake us. He honours the attitude of our heart and will never let us be put
to shame. The writer of Hebrews goes on to declare:
“So that we confidently say,
‘The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?’” (Hebrews
13:6, NASB)
Our Lord Jesus Christ also
said:
“But seek first His kingdom
and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you.” (Matthew
6:33, NASB)
That is, when we seek the
things of God first, He will provide all our other earthly needs. Therefore,
today’s meditation verse reminds us again of His promise: “I will never
desert you, nor will I ever abandon you.”
When we reject the love of
money and seek God’s Kingdom and righteousness, He will surely be with us and
never depart from us. Yet, many people live in the opposite way — they first
pursue money and material gain, and in doing so, drift away from God. Only when
the troubles of the world press upon them do they run back to Him.
If we develop a contented
heart that says, “Be content with what you have,” we will surely
experience the fulfilment of His promise, “I will never desert you, nor will
I ever abandon you.” Yes, it is only when we live out every Word of God
that we realize the truth and power of His promises.
Let us live out the Word—then
He will never leave us but remain with us, meeting all our needs.
