Security

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.

Why do we fall for the lie of our acquisitive culture, that security lies in what we possess? Better, surely, to invest in the one with the power to take away and to give. God is nearer than we think and he has revealed himself in the person of Jesus.

 

God of justice,

how shameful when financial inducement

becomes the principal motivator,

for doing diligence 

and keeping staff.

 

Grant us contentment, 

in what we have and as we need it 

 - our daily bread.

 

But what about those 

who lack even that

which is the bare essential for contentment?

 

Will you feed them,

despite us or through us?
