Devotions for Every Day of the Year by Sarah Young Jesus Calling enjoying Peace in His Presence September 6, 2013 DO EVERYTHING in dependence on Me. The desire to act independently ---apart from Me--- springs from the root of pride. Self-sufficiency is subtle, insinuating its way into your thoughts and actions without realizing it. But apart from Me, you can do nothing: that is, nothing of eternal value. My deepest desire for you is that you learn to depend on Me in every situation. I move heaven and earth to accomplish this purpose, but you must collaborate with Me in this training. Teaching you would be simple if I negated your free will or overwhelmed you with My Power. However, I love you too much to withdraw the godlike privilege I bestowed on you as My image-bearer. Use your freedom wisely, by relying on Me constantly. Thus you enjoy My Presence and My Peace. John 15:5; Ephesians 6:10; Genesis 1:26-27
