"Help, Lord !"

God wants us to depend entirely on Him. He wants us to lean on, trust in and rely on Him. Actually, that is part of the definition of faith. We are partners with God, and that means we both have responsibility. But we must lean on Him in order to do the things that are our part. God called me into the ministry and He anointed (enabled) and gifted me to do what I need to do, but I still have to trust Him and remember how much I need Him at all times.

Sometimes we may think that we don't need God's help with things we have done over and over again successfully. Why would we need help with something we already know we can do? It is dangerous to become self-reliant. The book of Proverbs speaks frequently of the self-confident fool. People who think they are self-sufficient and can take care of themselves are being foolish- and eventually that will be proven to everyone including themselves.

An independent attitude is part of the baby stage of Christianity. A mature Christian knows that he can do nothing of any real value apart from Jesus. Of couse, we can do things, but that doesn't mean they will be done right or that we will enjoy them or that they will produce any real lasting fruit.

When the Lord says we can do nothing apart from Him, He means things will not work properly in our lives unless we invite Him into everything. His presence can eliminate much of the struggle we experience in life. It makes impossible things possible, hard things easy and frustrating things peaceful. Do not ever be afraid to say, "Help, Lord, I can't do this without You."

New Day New You

For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which
He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
-Ephesians 2:10

We are God's own handiwork. He created us with His own hands. We got messed up, so we had to be re-created in Christ Jesus. We had to be born again so that we could go ahead and do those good works that God had preplanned and predestined for us before Satan tried to ruin us. Just because you and I have had trouble in our lives or just because we have made mistakes does not mean that God's plan has been changed. It is still there. All we have to do is get back on track.

Enjoying God's Love

The Bible says many times that God loves us. But how many of God's children still lack revelation concerning God's love? The truth is , very few of God's people really know how much He loves them. If they did, they would act differently.

Many years ago, I began studying how people can learn to receive God's love, and I realized that I was in desperate need of it myself. The Lord led me in my study to 1 John 4:16 and emphasized the importance of being conscious of His love. This means God's love should be something we are actively aware of. But how does one find this awareness?

I studied this subject for a long time, and I became conscious of God's love for me through thinking about His love and by confessing it aloud. I learned sciptures about the love of God, and I meditated on them and confessed them out of my mouth. I did this over and over for months, and all the time the revelation of His unconditional love for me was becoming more and more of a reality to me.

Now, His love is so real to me that even in hard times, I am comforted by the "conscious knowing" that He loves me and that I no longer have to live in fear. This can happen to you, too.

I encourage you to know and believe His love for you. Meditate on and speak about God's love that He expresses to you in His love letters-the Sciptures. Why not start with 1 John 4:16!

And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation
and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him.
( 1 John 4:16 )

Acquaint now yourself with Him [agree with God and show yourself to be conformed to His will]
and be at peace; by that [you shall prosper and great] good shall come to you.

( Job 22:21)

The Word of God

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all you heart and mind and do not rely on
your own insight or understanding. In all yur ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain you paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; reverntly fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil. [Prov.8:13.]

(Proverbs 3:5-7)

Matthew 6:33 -34

But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness. (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.
(Matthew 6:33)

So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of it's own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.
