Independently Dependent

For Independence Day:  Be independently dependent on God. Without Him we are nothing. We were created that way. With Him we are victorious conquerors of this life, and nothing coming against us can prevail. Without Him we’ll be crushed by every obstacle and enemy that comes our way.

July's Message, Day 4: For Independence Day

But the Lord is with me like a mighty warrior; so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail. They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced; their dishonor will never be forgotten. Jeremiah 20:11 NIV

Independence from oppressors and persecutors is a wonderful thing, and we in America are truly blessed. But even better than independence is dependence on God. That is the way we were created. Apart from Him we are nothing. When He is with us, no one and no thing, can stand against us and prevail. So we must revel in our freedom and live dependently on Him. That will bring about great victories in our lives, and great joy and peace that comes with living our lives for Him.
