Trust in the LORD with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding. 6 Seek his will in all you do,
and he will
show you which path to take. 7 Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil. 8 Then
you will have healing for your body
and strength for your bones.
There
are all kinds of things that we depend on.
Sometimes we depend on people.
Friends, family and others, but so often people let us down. Sometimes we depend on money or a budget, yet
money will run out at some point. We
even trust ourselves because everyone and everything else lets us down or goes
away.
God
has a lot to say about what we depend on.
If everything else lets us down, we can trust that God will never let us
down. Depending on our selves comes to
an end as well. That might be sickness
or weakness, blindness or short sightedness, lack of time or lack of
ability.
Trusting
God makes sense. He will take us further
than we can go on our. God will help us
more than any medicine, any doctor or any counselor. God will provide what we need and make it go
further than any money or any other resource could ever go.
When
we stop being impressed with our own wisdom and our own success, then we can
really be successful. That is where we
will find assurance for our hope. That
is where we will find our testimony is being built. That is where others will see God and be
challenged to meet Him for real.
What
happens when we lean on and depend on God?
What happens is God will direct our lives, God will give us wisdom, God
will give us strength and healing. Those
are things I need. How about you?
Stop
depending on yourself and start depending on God. Here is the question I have to ask myself:
who ya depending on?
