Hebrews 13:5 · KJV

"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."

King James Version

Passage Context

³Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

⁴Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

⁵Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

⁶So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

⁷Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

Devotional Reflection

PeaceGratitudeHope

We can live our lives in two ways. We can either live by faith or by what we see. We can rely on God's constant presence and power, or we can use what we have. But wealth can change and go away, just like health, status, and reputation. Only one Source is always there for us, and we know we can count on Him because He was there for so many people who came before us. "Never will I leave you!" is a promise that I will never forget.

Prayer

I appreciate You being there tomorrow before I get there, Holy Father, the Great I Am. Thank You for being there for me in the past when everyone else abandoned me. I appreciate Your being there even though I didn't realize it until I looked back and saw the results of Your grace. Give me the strength to genuinely believe You when You say You'll always be there. "Never" has become a very important word for me today thanks to Your promise! I'm grateful. In Jesus's precious name, I pray. Amen.
