The Lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him.

DEPENDING ON GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you run to the throne when in need?
Do you seek his Word and constantly read?
To live independently of God is dangerous
It leads to a life of being constantly impetuous.
The Lord is good to those who depend on him
Those who seek his truth will be redeemed
Depend only on your heavenly Father for all things
Then you will find peace and joy in everything.

Do you recall how a child is? They constantly depend on their parents and caregivers around them. They trust them immensely and will run to them for anything. Their childlike dependency on adults makes them very vulnerable, but those who love them will surely make a way that they are safe and protected. This is exactly how God wants us to rely on him, just like a child. He requires us all to be like little children or we won’t enter his kingdom. When a child relies on her parents for her or his needs, the parent must meet that basic need. When they are not provided safety, love and the basic human needs, they become corrupted and confused. God will never want us to live this way.
The bible talks of the goodness of God especially to those who depend on him and those who seek him.
PRAYER
Lord, let me always rely on you.
REFLECTION
What hinders you from total reliance on God?
