Daily Dependence Is The Way I Created You
Come into my courts with praise and thanksgiving. Come with an open heart to hear my voice clearly and know what is on my heart each day. Each day brings new things your way, so better to be prepared for what lies ahead. Keep your body, mind, and spirit, in check with me each and every day. Let the concerns upon your heart melt away as you come and spend time alone with me. All of your questions and concerns will be taken care of and answered in its perfect time. When your mind is full of questions, it’s really full of fear. Trust in me to take care of all of your needs.
What bothers your mind most is that I will not take care of you and that I won’t follow through with what I’ve promised you. This is a lack of faith and this must be nourished and developed so that you can truly follow me. I have deposited the faith within you to believe, but you must do the leg work.
Follow me each and every day on the journey I’ve created for you. You are created in my very image, but you are unique in every way from everyone else. There’s no one like you who can complete the task that has been appointed to you. Your job is only to do what I ask of you – not to do what you see everyone else doing. So how can you complete this unique task unless you come to me for guidance each day? Without my direction how will you know exactly what to do?
The beauty of how I created you is how we are to partner together to complete your destiny here on the earth. Each one has a special task to complete – completely unique from anyone else – so it’s imperative that you come to me to get direction and not look to anyone else to know what to do. Why would you look at your brother or sister and think you’re supposed to copy them? Seems a little silly doesn’t it, when you think about it and see things from my perspective.
Hold fast to what you know about me. Hold fast to my truths throughout my Word. Seek me out day by day and I will give you guidance for each new day. Daily dependence is the way I created you so that we would stay in communion together. You are stronger when you are coming to me seeking out my heart. You are made to be fortified in me and then nothing can tear you apart. You were made for community with me so you wouldn’t fall apart when things come your way.
Let me fortify you with the strength of my heart and the sound of my voice speaking to you. Let my strong hand lift and guide you so you always know the way to move ahead. I am your fortress and I am your guide. I will never leave you or forsake you – I am always by your side. Put all your trust in me and take a deep breath, for I will never leave you on your own to figure out the rest. Trust in me to walk through this life in total victory each and every day.
Psalm 25:4-5 New Living Translation
4 Show me the right path, O Lord;
point out the road for me to follow.
5 Lead me by your truth and teach me,
for you are the God who saves me.
All day long I put my hope in you.
Matthew 6:34 The Passion Translation
34Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.”
Proverbs 3:5-8 The Passion Translation
5Trust in the Lord completely,
and do not rely on your own opinions.
With all your heart rely on him to guide you,
and he will lead you in every decision you make.
6Become intimate with him in whatever you do,
and he will lead you wherever you go.
7Don’t think for a moment that you know it all,
for wisdom comes when you adore him with undivided devotion
and avoid everything that’s wrong.
8Then you will find the healing refreshment
your body and spirit long for.
2 Corinthians 1:21-22 New International Reader’s Version
21 He makes both us and you remain strong in the faith because we belong to Christ. He anointed us. 22 He put his Spirit in our hearts and marked us as his own. We can now be sure that he will give us everything he promised us.
Psalm 143:8-10 New Living Translation
8 Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,
for I am trusting you.
Show me where to walk,
for I give myself to you.
9 Rescue me from my enemies, Lord;
I run to you to hide me.
10 Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
May your gracious Spirit lead me forward
on a firm footing.
