Victory Over Life's Challenges預覽

Lean not on your understanding

It is human nature to try and find solutions to challenges encountered. “God gave me a brain to think and be able to solve my problems!” This is what most of us tell ourselves. Where I come from, we even have a saying that “God helps those who help themselves”, and this has been passed down so much that most people believe it to be biblical, yet it’s not. On the contrary, God helps us when we are unable to help ourselves! He makes a way where there is no way! Therefore, you should not live your life independent of God; you need God every second of your life and cannot simply trust your mind or feelings as these are fleeting. One thing remains constant; and that is the Spirit of God in us. God never changes. As His Word says, He is the same yesterday, today and forevermore (Hebrews 13:8), therefore you should depend on his guidance and direction each each day.

PRAYER: Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for Your love and faithfulness in my life. Today I boldly declare Your Lordship over my life and surrender my every decision in Your hands. Lord, please direct my footsteps and help me not to lean on my own understanding. In Your Glorious Name I pray, Amen!

CALL TO ACTION: Write down every aspect of your life you are surrendering into God’s hands and watch Him turn things around for you. For example, your family, work, the friends you choose, etc.
