Divine Dependence

Live a natural life of absolute dependence on Jesus Christ

-Oswald Chambers

I took a spiritual formation class last year. One of the primary lessons that I learned in this class is that I am still in desperate need of God, and I have to be dependent on him in each waking hour.

In human relationships they say that it is a bad thing to be "needy," it is not a bad thing to be this way with God. It is when we rely on our own strength, the power of our own self will when we begin to forget that it was never about our power or strength, but we are to be dependent on God's strength. His power is made perfect in our weakness not our strength.
