Total Dependence

“Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You.” (Psalm 143:8 NKJV) Our complete reliance on God affirms that we cannot do better than follow. We have the privilege of doing exactly what God is doing. If He desires to feed people in a starving nation, He, in human form, wakes up early to plow, plant, tend, harvest, and distribute the crops. At the same time, He also energizes sailors to transport goods. He desires to work through us to live out His ways of love. He, even through our selfish desires to harm others through acts of greed, can become His opportunities to provide abundance for all. “You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence.” (Acts 2:28, NKJV)
