Reliance

I am not sure what this trip will bring.  In my life I am continually being taught and reminded of the lesson of reliance.  Only Him, only you Jesus.

The reality of being used so much is setting in now.  Hard to hold on to the truth that if I remain available, God will do great things through me.  Just writing that sentence is incredible.  A small man from Kentucky going to such a large place, to share with so many, for God's glory.  Amazing and yet scary.  Scary because I know my flesh may creep in.  What I mean is that there is room for pride, arrogance, and self-glorification.  If those begin to show, the message is suddenly mine, not His.

However, if God keeps me broken, relying only on Him, there is no room for pride.


Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?   Matthew 6:25-7
