He Will Never Leave You (Hebrews 13:15)

"Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.' "

-Hebrews 13:15

The two parts of this verse, at first glance, may not seem to relate at all. But, in reality, the two are intertwined with each other. Let's see how.

There are two parts to this verse: a command and a promise. 

The Command
"Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have..."

We should not be obsessed with money or getting more stuff. That is not what life is about, and it will distract from the more important things, like pursuing Christ. This also includes worrying about money! Trust that God will provide for what you need. If you don't waste money on unnecessary things, you won't have to worry as much.

The Promise
"I will never leave you nor forsake you."

God has promised to be with us always! He will be a faithful friend when all else fails. This is connected to the first part of this verse because if we have God, we really don't need all of those other things that money can buy. He will provide for us, and we can trust in that.
