My devotional last night was too good not to share. Enjoy!
"You can achieve the victorious life through living in deep dependence on GOD. People usually associate victory with success: not falling or stumbling, not making mistakes. But those who are successful in their own strength tend to go their own way,forgetting about GOD. It is through problems and failure, weakness and neediness that you learn to rely on GOD.
True dependence is not simply asking GOD to bless what you have decided to do. It is coming to GOD with an open mind and heart, allowing GOD to plant his desires in you. He may infuse within you a dream that seems far beyond your reach. You know that in yourself you cannot achieve such a goal. Thus begins your journey of profound reliance on GOD. It is a faith walk, taken one step at a time, leaning on GOD as much as you need. This is not a path of continual success but of continual failures. However, each failure is followed by a growth spurt, nourished by increased reliance on him. Enjoy the blessedness of a victorious life , through deepening your dependence on GOD"
thanks for sharing Heather--this is definitely something we often forget, but always need to remember and depend on.
