Hebrews 13

“The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” The writer of Hebrews quotes Scripture in the closing passages of the letter, sharing things to do SO THAT we can confidently say these words… the LORD is my HELPER. I will NOT fear. What can MAN do to me?
 
Wouldn’t we all love to confidently say these words and sincerely mean them? No fear. No doubt about getting help when we need it. Not seeking approval, affirmation, security, safety, support from man who will always let us down. So, what does the writer tell us to do?
 
Let brotherly LOVE continue.
Show HOSPITALITY to strangers.
Remember those in PRISON.
Remember those who are MISTREATED.
Honor MARRIAGE and FIDELITY.
Keep your life FREE FROM the love of money.
Be CONTENT with what you have.
 
“Do not neglect to DO GOOD and to SHARE what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God,” the writer goes on to say.
 
In submitting and in giving, we are filled and satisfied. In our high-tech, high-information, self-help surroundings we tend to over-complicate things. But God’s message has always been clear and simple: Love God; love others.
 
The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?
