Do you depend on God?
We all do it. When things are going well, going as planned, going as we like, we tend to not lean on God so much. We don't think we need Him as much as we do in the harder seasons. Big mistake. We need to thank God for everything and everyone that drives us to our knees in utter dependence on Him. For those are the times when God does His greatest and deepest work in us. How so? Because that is when we are full aware of our need for Him. Wish there weren't so many trials? That's what a heaven is for! All will truly be well there. But for now! Our greatest strength comes from our deepest dependence on God. Not in ourselves. Not in our circumstances. Not in relationships, finances, prosperity - none of these, as nice as they may be, could ever give us the anchor for our souls that we need. When we look to anything or anyone else other than Almighty God for our strength and might, we will come up short. Oh it may look or feel good...
