Read Dr. David Jeremiah Daily Devotional for today June 29 2023: He’s Worth It!
SCRIPTURE: Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” -Hebrews 13:5
Becket Cook was a gay production designer in Hollywood, and his career was very successful. Yet he was overwhelmed with a sense of emptiness. One day at a coffee shop, he saw open Bibles on the next table. He asked, “Are you guys Christians?” The fellow patrons began sharing the Gospel with him, and within days Cook gave his life to Christ. His testimony now is this: “My hope is that people will realize how much more amazing it is to deny yourself and follow Christ rather than to just give in to sin now just to satisfy some immediate need…. With God, I feel this unconditional love…. Like He’ll never leave or forsake me. I’m happy to leave that dead man [my old me] behind because He’s worth it.”1
We can leave so much behind when we know He will never leave or forsake us—covetousness, sinful habits, and the pressures of life.
Pray aloud today: “I praise You, Lord, for You never for a moment leave me and will never forsake me!”
Because we are His children, His love will never leave or forsake us. There will always be a place for us in His heart.
