“DO EVERYTHING in dependence on GOD. The desire to act independently — apart from GOD — springs from the root of pride. Self-sufficiency is subtle, insinuating its way into your thoughts and actions without your realizing it. But apart from The LORD, you can do nothing: that is, nothing of eternal value. GOD’S deepest desire for you is that you learn to depend on HIM in every situation. GOD moves heaven and earth to accomplish this purpose, but you must collaborate with HIM in this training. Teaching you would be simple if GOD negated your free will or overwhelmed you with HIS Power. However, The LORD loves you too much to withdraw the godlike privilege HE bestowed on you as HIS image-bearer. Use your freedom wisely, by relying on GOD constantly. Thus you enjoy GOD’S Presence and GOD’S Peace.”
Scripture
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” JOHN 15 : 5
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. EPHESIANS 6 : 10
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. GENESIS 1 : 26 – 27
Prayer
Prayer: God, teach me to depend on you in every situation. Help me to do my part by spending time getting to know you each day through your word prayer, and fellowship with other believers. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
