Total Dependency


Dependence on the Lord alone is central to our lives as we live for and serve God.Our attitude must always reflect that belief that God is our only source-not information, evaluation and judgment from culture, someone else’s view or our own prejudices.

Thus says the LORD Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind And makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the LORD…Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD , whose trust is the LORD For he will be like a tree planted by the water, That extends its roots by a stream And will not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, And it will not be anxious in a year of drought Nor cease to bear fruit Jeremiah 17:5-8

Many times our natural response to any difficulty, challenge or task tends to be. "What must  I do to get this done?".We look inward to ourselves, or outward to friends, family or doctors. Most of us do not naturally think "I have a headache; I need to talk to the Lord about this. The Lord is my healer. "
Do you depend on your own energy and strength?
The Lord resides with the lowly and humble, with those who will depend on Him and give glory to Him.
In all things we must look to God alone as our source, continually living lives that recognize who we re, and stay dependent on Him.
