Depend

Do you ever make excuses? Excuses like, “The people I work with hold me back.” “I don’t have the skills for the job.” “My parents screwed me up, it’s their fault.” “I don’t have time.” “People expect too much from me.” “God expects too much from me.” When God called Moses to a great assignment, he was full of excuses.

You can depend on I AM. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Depend on him. He will take care of you.

Thank God for never changing. Thank God that you can always depend on him to do everything he has promised to do.

Saving faith is trusting in Jesus as the only One who can forgive our sins and place us into an eternal relationship with the living God.

His mercies are new every morning. It’s time to sing a new song!

Is it because we can’t or won’t trust God that we place our trust in all this other stuff? I believe there is a big lesson to learn from Israel’s king, Ahaziah.

During the journey of life, each of us spends time on the emotional edge. We cannot escape fatigue, disappointment, and stress. These are dangerous stretches. Reactions (and overreactions) can cause much collateral damage. But our trust in God, even in the heat of pressure cooker situations, makes all the difference.

The fact is that we are not going to get out of this life alive. One day, all too soon, we will be gone. When our children leave our grave and walk to their cars, will they do so in the power of the Spirit or with meaningless religious remnants?
