OUR
CONSTANT COMPANION
BREAD
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.” 6 So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I
will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” 7 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to
you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and
forever.
Hebrews
13:5-8 (NIV)
BUTTER
“Life holds for all of us,
from time to time, desolate places. All that was ordinary and secure and
familiar and dependable seems a thousand miles away. Here we are in this
strange wilderness- out of work, ill, robbed of something or someone, banished
from a privilege that once was ours, no longer needed, confused, forsaken. It
is a place of dryness, loneliness, isolation, helplessness, fear. We feel as
though we are walking where no human being was ever meant to walk, a place of dragons. Don't despair. Even
though you find no signs, be sure that thousands have traversed this terrain.
When you reach the far side you will meet them. But there is something that is
far more comforting than that. You are not alone now. Always
beside you is Another whose voice you may not hear, whose arm you may not feel,
whose footprint you may not see. Nevertheless His Word is utterly to be
trusted: ‘I cared for you in the wilderness.’ (Hosea 13:5)” Elisabeth
