Men may forget you but God will surely remember you. He will send help and deliver you in due time. Joseph requested the chief butler to remember and mention him to Pharaoh but he forgot until God created the situation that announced Joseph before Pharaoh. Learn to put your trust in the Lord. Like Joseph, you do not need the help of man for your God-given dreams to be fulfilled. You need God the Father, not a god-father.

Are you seeking fame, position, wealth and riches, or other great things that life offers? The counsel of the Lord is: seek them not, but seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. If your goal in life is to acquire great things at the expense of your soul, you are of all men most miserable - a man to be pitied.

Beloved, when God weighs you in His balances, you will be found wanting if your righteousness is not of God in Christ Jesus. Except your righteousness shall exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of heaven - Matthew 5:20. Self-righteousness is like filthy rags and falls short of God's standard of true righteousness and holiness.

Greed, covetousness, the love of money and materialism cause the heart of man to drift away from God. And the heart that is far from God will usually be plagued by sorrow and misery. There may be temporary happiness, but without contentment real joy will definitely be missing. Covetousness like idolatry takes the heart away from the Lord. Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry - 1 Corinthians 10:14.

The grace of God is misunderstood by many Christians and Bible teachers. Under grace believers are free from sin but not free to sin. The erroneous doctrine of eternal security stems from the teaching that once saved by grace, you are forever saved regardless of what you do afterwards. But Demas who was once saved by grace, later backslid and lost his salvation because of the love of the world. We cannot take the grace of God for granted because it is not a license to sin.
