God’s promises do not depend on my feelings, they rest on his promises

RC Sproul

Some things in life we really don’t need to depend on God for. We make our dinner, make our bed, etc etc. Those are things we are used to. But then there are other things in our lives that without God there is no way that it is going to turn out okay. I believe that almost every Christian has parts of their lives that are like this. They are there to remind us that he is God and that he still wants to very much be in our lives.

These places grow us, stretch us, and cause us to know God in new ways. They cause us to learn to trust and depend on him.Depending on God is not always easy. Sometimes we will have to put our head down and follow him through some really difficult situations before we get to the other side. There is no one better to hang onto and to go through the trials with than him.

He has your best interest at heart. He knows all the good and bad about you and still wants nothing more than for you to succeed. He wants you to succeed even more than you do for your own life. Many of the viewpoints we don’t even realize we have about him are wrong. Sometimes we condemn ourselves for our past actions and automatically think he must be doing the same thing. We doubt he wants to bless us.

The truth is he knows about all of your past and your present and he still wants to bless you. He is sending you little reminders that you may not even be catching that he wants things to turn around for you and they will, if you will just hang onto him for just a little while.

He can be depended on and he is going to show you that he will not fail you. The Bible says be not weary in well doing … you will reap if you do not faint..

It also says they that wait upon the lord shall renew their strength .. they shall mount up with wings as eagles.

You won’t faint if you learn to wait upon the lord and depend on him. If you learn to let him do the God stuff and stop depending on your own faulty humanity, he can do what he has always wanted to do in you and he will make sure you are strengthened with what you need on your journey.

So don’t give up and don’t lose hope. Your victory is closer than you imagine and you will be amazed when he answers with exceedingly and abundantly.
