We live in an ‘I/me’ society. We are lead to believe we control our success/destiny-be self sufficient/reliant. Here are a few noteworthy examples of our dependency upon God. The first two we perhaps do not think about enough.
1) Daily Manna-the bread of Heaven. A forty year lesson to the Israelites to not store up but to trust/depend on God to provide(Ex.16). 2)Tithe- belongs to and is Holy to God(Lev.29:30-33). Money can compete with God as it provides power and feelings of self-reliance. Matt 6:24 says we cannot serve both God and money. When we freely/joyfully tithe, a bold statement that demonstrates, ‘money has no power/control over us’. Trusting/depending on God’s promise to sustain us. 3) Faith- That what we believe, yet unseen. Dependence upon God is integral to faith. “I love the recklessness of faith. First you leap, and then you grow wings.” -William Sloane Coffin. Wow! Blessings in your pursuit…….TO
