LIVING IN DEPENDENCE ON GOD is a glorious adventure. – 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9 – 10, ACTS 17 : 28, COLOSSIANS 2 : 6 – 7, JOHN 14 : 20

“LIVING IN DEPENDENCE ON GOD is a glorious adventure. Most people scurry around busily, trying to accomplish things through their own strength and ability. Some succeed enormously; others fail miserably. But both groups miss what life is meant to be: living and working in collaboration with GOD. When you depend on GOD continually, your whole perspective changes. You see miracles happening all around, while others see only natural occurrences and “coincidences.” You begin each day with joyful expectation, watching to see what The LORD will do. You accept weakness as a gift from GOD, knowing that The LORD’S Power plugs in most readily to consecrated weakness. You keep your plans tentative, knowing that The LORD’S plans are far superior. You consciously live, move, and have your being in GOD, desiring that GOD lives in you. The LORD in you, and you in The LORD. This is the intimate adventure GOD offers you.”

Scripture

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9 – 10 

“‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” ACTS 17 : 28

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. COLOSSIANS 2 : 6 – 7 

On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. JOHN 14 : 20

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus, thank You for inviting me into the adventure of living in dependence on You. Keep my heart surrendered and my plans open to Yours, and let me walk each day with joyful expectation of what You will do in and through me. Amen.
