Hebrew 13-5-6

I've rediscovered an important, powerful Bible verse today, thanks to CG.

(Heb 13:5-6 RSV) {5} Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, "I will never fail you nor forsake you." {6} Hence we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid; what can man do to me?"

The Lord will never forsake us. Even during our lowest point in life, he will make provision for us, and always have our best interest in mind.

Even if He had forsaken Jesus on the cross (as mentioned in Mark 15:35-36 and Matthew 27:48,49, He will never forsake us human beings. That is His promise for us.

I've never actually quite understood the text when Jesus cried out on the cross, "Father father why have you forsaken Me?"

By now, when you try to interpret it this way, it makes sense, totally.

Reminds me of my favourite bible verse, John 3:16 ~

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life"

there may be times when we feel like God has left or forsaken us, but bear in mind, He is always there, with us, and opening pathways for us. Just like how He was with Joseph.

Have faith, and always pray.
