Totally dependent



For some time now, I've begun to realise how completely dependent I need to be on Jesus. When he says, "Step out of the boat" what do I do? Do I begin to try to figure out how he's going to keep me afloat on the water? Do I begin to reason with my mind; "am I going to be able to walk on the water, will his promises sustain me and keep me?" My mind wants to get in the way; "I have never done this before, where is this taking me, I mean, he's asking me to step into the completely unknown!" For the worried heart and anxoius mind, there is remedy in the precious Word of God: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct you paths." "For we walk by faith and not by sight, the just shall LIVE by faith." "Be anxoius for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, make your requests known to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and mind.."
Trust. Believe. Obey. Because nothing is impossible for him who believes!
