{Hebrews 13:5} 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." -- American Standard Improved Version.
At times we may feel that we should not have a share in the common aches, pains and suffering of mankind under the curse. If we have consecrated our life to our Heavenly Father and His Son, we should seek to be content in whatever our Heavenly Father may provide for us. Paul himself had to learn to be content, and he tells us that he had come to know how to have an abundance and also how to be lacking. He tells us he could do all this through Christ, who gave him strength. (Philippians 4:12,13) We who are sons of God also need to have this faith in God through Christ, for our Heavenly Father has assured us that He will not forsake us. This does not mean that he will forever spare of from the death of our bodies that we presently serve in, but it does mean that he will be with us to give us strength through Christ through all our phases of life. Our part is to put faith in his promises.
