Worth more than money!
SCRIPTURE: Hebrews {NIV} 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.”
6 So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”
OBSERVATION: Verse 5 gives two different thoughts. The first about money and possessions and the second about what God has said. They are joined together by the word “because.” The second phrase gives the reason for the first.
That second phrase—what a major, wonderful, encouraging, comforting TRUTH! “Never will I leave you; Never will I forsake you!” And the word “Never” means this truth dose not just apply to money, but to wherever we are; at home. at work, at school, in prison, or in the hospital (like I am tonight}. (I am enjoying good fellowship with Mike, my nurse born in Kenya.)
APPLICATION: So, what is the application? It is given in verse 6. With boldness we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper, Why should I ever fear what man can do to me!”
PRAYER: Lord, what an appropriate verse for me today. Your Presence is worth far more than money or anything else! May that truth be seen in my life today. Thank you for being with me today when I was frustrated by the delays. Thank you for my son, Doron, speaking truth to me. Amen

Thank everyone who prayed for me today. The doctor, with the cardio-vac, made it into my heart but did not find a clot, but a tumor. He took a biopsy and made a successful exit. I have not gotten to speak to him. But Doron said he sounded quite positive after the surgery/procedure. I am still in ICU. Will get an x-ray in the morning. I am expecting to return home tomorrow, so I will give an update with tomorrow’s SOAP. 😊
