You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. Psalm 16:11 As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him. Psalm 18:30 Relying on God I believe every time we feel frustration, it means weve really stopped relying on God. That might sound like a bold statement to you, but think about it: Gods given you and me His Holy Spirit and His grace to help us walk through anything that comes our way. Frustration hits when we stop depending on Him and try to make something happen our own way. Understanding this really helped me. Every time I became frustrated, I reminded myself that what I was really doing was trying to take the place of the Holy Spirit. I was trying to be Holy Spirit Junior! Do you struggle with an independent spirit? When you refuse to depend on God, in essence, youre saying, Okay, God, I appreciate that Youre around, but watch me do this. Depending on God for everything may be difficult, but its the key to the victory we need every single day of our lives. When God saved us, He didnt help us and then say, Ok, thats it. Youre on your own now! Hes eternally saved us, which means if we depend on Him, He will guide us and help us. Galations 5:16 urges us to walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit...then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh.... Notice that it doesnt say conquer the flesh independently...then you will certainly not gratify the desires of the flesh. No, it says to live in the Holy Spirit. Choose to stop living independently, and rely on the Holy Spirit. I promise you wont regret it! Prayer Starter: God, You are all I need. Help me not to trust in myself, but to put my trust in You and to rely only on You. Joyce Meyer
