“Stop Depending On People And Depend On God”

Matthew 6:19-21

Depend is defined as to rely; place trust (usually followed by on or upon); count on; confide in. 

Depending on God takes surrender and consent. Depending on God is necessary in the hard times and the good times. Fully depending on God involves laying your crown down and seeking a place of humility before God. We must take our proper position and recognize who God is and that He alone creates, maintains, and upholds all things. Every word from God is true and can be trusted. We tend to put so much trust in earthly measures that we can find ourselves depending on God as a backup or last resort when something of this world has failed us. But what if we were like Abraham and never wavered in believing God? The Israelites were forced to depend on God as they fled the Egyptians. Esther depended on God to save her people. The disciples were taught to depend on God the Father through Jesus’ example living among them. As we rest in fully relying on God, wait patiently for Him to act. 

I come by this late evening to let you know we must depend solely on God and not people. People will fail you but God will never fail you. His promises are for real. He will never leave you or forsake you. Be blessed and I love you!!! JE
