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. ' "
- Are you part of the rat race? The endless, self-defeating or pointless pursuit of something you will never have enough of?
- Here Paul writes that the love of money is directly opposed to the freedom and contentment that comes when we know who we are to God: He will never leave or forsake you.
- 'The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat' - William Sloane Coffin
Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, we want to confess that having more money makes us feel better about ourselves - rather than looking to you. Help us to realise that we are more than mere 'rats' and we are loved by our heavenly Father at the cost of his own Son. Let us be content with that as we discover that we were created to love and enjoy you. Amen
