YOU CAN ACHIEVE THE VICTORIOUS LIFE through living in deep dependence on GOD. – PSALM 34 : 17– 18, 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7

“YOU CAN ACHIEVE THE VICTORIOUS LIFE through living in deep dependence on GOD. People usually associate victory with success: not falling or stumbling, not making mistakes. But those who are successful in their own strength tend to go their own way, forgetting about GOD. It is through problems and failure, weakness and neediness that you learn to rely on The LORD. True dependence is not simply asking GOD to bless what you have decided to do. It is coming to GOD with an open mind and heart, inviting The LORD to plant HIS desires within you. The LORD may infuse within you a dream that seems far beyond your reach. You know that in yourself you cannot achieve such a goal. Thus begins your journey of profound reliance on GOD. It is a faith-walk, taken one step at a time, leaning on GOD as much as you need. This is not a path of continual success but of multiple failures. However, each failure is followed by a growth spurt, nourished by increased reliance on The LORD. Enjoy the blessedness of a victorious life, through deepening your dependence on GOD.”

Scripture

The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. PSALM 34 : 17– 18

For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to live in deeper dependence on you this year. Plant your desires within me and help me surrender my plans to yours and walk with you one step at a time. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
