DEPENDING ON GOD

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: DEPENDING ON GOD.

Note the example of Moses - Deuteronomy 8:3,11-14,16-18

Moses knew that man lives, not by bread alone, but by the word of God. Our physical blessings come, not by our own power and might, but from God. All good things come from God.

We must appreciate how weak we would be without Him. This leads us to depend on God to meet our needs. In turn, we then appreciate and exalt Him.

Note the teaching of Jesus - Matthew 18:1-4.
The greatest in the kingdom is one who is humble like a little child. I have heard people say a child is humble because it is forgiving. Perhaps, but a child is not just forgiving; he is totally dependent on his parents.
Where does a child receive what he needs? Who provides his food, changes his diaper, and dresses him? When he has pain, for whom does he call? A child is weak, but he knows Momma and Daddy can meet his needs. So humility leads us to humbly admit our need for God.

Proper humility toward God is an admission of our own weakness, sinfulness, unprofitableness, and inability to obtain or accomplish by ourselves the things we need. We need help from someone far greater than we are. God knows what we need and what is good better than we know, and He has power to do what needs done. Humility will lead us to appreciate Him, trust His will, and give Him the glory, rather than exalting self.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, WE CARRY ALL OUR BORDEN ON YOU, PLEASE HELP US TO BEAR THEM ALL AND GIVE US MIND TO TOTALLY DEPEND ON YOU IN JESUS NAME.
