Contentment grows from God's presence, not more possessions.

Background

Hebrews closes with practical instructions about love, hospitality, marriage, and money.

Teaching

God calls us to keep our lives free from the love of money and to be content with what we have. The cure for covetousness is not willpower alone but a promise: God will never leave us. His presence gives us a security possessions cannot provide.

Reflect

Prayer

Lord, You will never leave me. Teach me contentment with what I have, because I have You. Amen.
