You can only depend on God

But Jesus looked at them and said to them, " With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." - Matthew 19:26

Without men, God will not. Without God, men cannot.

Yet men still think they are their own captains of their own ships. Truth be known, men, in and of themselves, cannot do anything without God! We think we are able and capable through the experiences or trainings that we have garnered. We think we can will our way through all obstacles. There is a saying, "If it is to be, it is up to me!". O, how wrong could it be?

I am not saying we do absolutely nothing but to do things with the guidance and leading of the Holy Spirit. It is not inactivity but God directed activities! And when we do God directed activities, there will be Godly results. We don't strive to produce the desirable outcome but work out what's within and the result will be there. For only God can put us at the right place and at the right time.

God's divine's timing is always perfect. He will make all things beautiful in His time and all things will turn out to be good for those in Christ. Do remember it is God who gives the increase. Our bosses may be a channel where God's financial blessing flows to us but it is not the only channel. If your boss is not rightly giving you your due compensation, God can change your boss. I mean there may be a literal change of your superior at work or you may end up with another company, or even starting your own.

When we come to the end of ourselves, that's when God's grace can flow unhindered in and through us! As long we think we still can do something about a difficult situation, a challenging problem, an problematic issue, or just dealing with our kids, God's grace will be hindered. But when we totally depend on His grace, all things will turn out for our good!

It is only when we are completely emptied of our own self-efforts to improve ourselves do we see ourselves flowing mightily in the grace of God. It is a flow and the outcome if it is fruit, Godly result. The blessings of the Lord make one rich and no toilsome labour can add to it. That's what God wants all these while. He loves us so much and it brings Him great joy when we allow His grace to flow in and through us mightily for He loves to do miracles in our lives through Him. He loves to bless us with more than enough. That's our loving Abba Father.

When we let go and let God, there is an unspeakable peace within. This is a peace which surpasses all understandings that will keep our hearts against all anxieties and fears. Keep practicing the consciousness of the presence of God in our lives and be in the flow of God's living rivers and see outcomes which are beyond our wildest dreams! Hallelujah!
