Dependent

My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

- Psalm 62:7-8, NIV

It’s easy to be so caught up in life’s activities that you believe you’re going at it alone. However, know that your life, your essence, your very being depends upon the Lord…in other words you are “dependent”, not “independent.” Not a very popular viewpoint from a carnal standpoint, but absolutely the mindset you must take throughout your walk in Christ. John 15 clearly walks each and every Christian down this path stating that you are nothing/have nothing aside from Him; however, with and through Him you can have it all. Understand that your salvation doesn’t just equate to your liberation from whatever had you bound, but also is your willing acceptance of His lordship over you…with the latter of the two being the hardest for most to come to grips with. Fortunately the God you serve is benevolent and full of love; resulting a dependency akin to that of a newborn and parent. The innocence of that child allows him/her to receive the blessings of the father/mother without the urges or turning of pride. God seeks the same posture of His people today that they may receive His grace and mercy in all things. Today humble yourself before the Lord by acknowledging that you are dependent upon His touch in every aspect of your life…then watch how His love puts your life into the right perspective.

BE BLESSED!
