Day Eight – Relying on God
The definition of rely is: to depend – to be dependent on somebody or something; to trust - to have faith or confidence in somebody or something.
Read Romans 7:18-20 NIV before you continue.
This scripture is an eye-opener as to what goes on in one’s life. There is a war going on inside of us. The Apostle Paul explains it very well here in Romans 7 – we want to do the right thing but because we try to do it in our own power, we mess up.
There is good news! We never have to rely on our own strength again but we can rely on the strength of Jesus Christ. He will help us make the right decisions. We no longer have to let sin dominate us to make us do the things against His will and purpose for our lives.
Here are a few scriptures to help you rely on God:
Please Read: Proverbs 3:5-6, Psalm 18:2, I Corinthians 10:13, Romans 12:2
Today, make a decision to lean on the Lord for His strength instead of trusting in your own strength. Surrender all of your needs to Him.
Are there any areas of struggle in your life? Write it down and rely on Jesus to handle every situation.
Expect great things from God, by relying on Him!
