DEPEND ON GOD

DEPEND ON GOD

"The best place to be is where God puts you. Any other place is
undesirable because you chose it for yourself. Do not think too much
about the future. Worrying about things that haven't happened yet is
unhealthy for you. God Himself will help you, day by day. There is no
need to store things up for the future. Don't you believe God will take
care of you?

A life of faith does two things: Faith helps you see God behind
EVERYTHING that He uses. And faith also keeps you in a place where you
are not sure what will happen next. To have faith you cannot always want
to know what is happening or going to happen. God wants you to trust Him
ALONE from minute to minute. The strength He gives you in one minute is
not intended to carry you through the next. Let God take care of His
business. Just be faithful to what God asks of you.

To depend on God from moment to moment -- especially when all is dark
and uncertain -- is a true dying to your old self. This process is so
slow and inward that it is often hidden from you as well as others."
from THE SEEKING HEART by Fenelon

"Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out
everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in EVERYTHING you do,
EVERYWHERE you go; He's the one who will keep you on track." Proverbs
3:5-6 from THE MESSAGE
