Where in the Bible does God say that I need to do everything by myself, with my own strength and knowledge and stamina? Ye shall figure it out alone and probably fail. Nowhere. Not a verse. Instead, God tells me to depend on Him for everything!
One of my favorite verses is Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. In all of my ways I am to submit to the Lord and He will move in my life and guide me according to His plan.
I am only to be in obedience to Him and submit to Him, staying close to Him in all things. God handles the rest. He will provide and I will accept and abide and continue to live in deference and reverence to Him, allowing Him more and more room in my hours and moments. My life will become less complicated, more free and more beautiful.
Depending on God doesn’t mean I don’t have work to do. It means that my work and His work become more clearly defined. I learn to move, not apart from God but with God.
For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. Psalm 91:11
