Dependence on His Faithfulness

                                             
I LOVE THIS QUOTE AHH

"No dependence can be placed upon our natural qualities, or our spiritual attainments; but God abideth faithful. He is faithful in His love; He knows no variableness, neither shadow of turning. HE is faithful to His purpose; He doth not begin a work and then leave it undone. He is faithful to His relationships; as a Father He will not renounce His children, as a friend He will not deny His people, as a Creator He will not forsake the work of His own hands. HE is faithful to His promises, and will never allow one of them to fail to a single believer. He is faithful to His covenant, which He has made with us in Christ Jesus , and ratified with the blood of His sacrifice. He is faithful to His Son, and will not allow His precious blood to be spilled in vain. He is faithful to His people to whom he has promised eternal life, and from whom He will not turn away."

Trust: I'm learning about it and seeking it
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight. 


I grew up memorizing this verse halfheartedly. But praise God who has spoken through it in this season of life. I found myself constantly repeating this verse to myself lately and has grown close to my heart. 
 
TRUST. Trust in the LORD. Trust in the Lord WITH ALL YOUR HEART. 
When I am not trusting in the Lord, I am being arrogant. Who am I to think I can do things by my own hands? LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. Where does my help come from? It comes from the Lord, does it not? My fears, insecurities, & voids can be filled by this Lord, but why do I find myself at square one every day? I want to learn to live by His guidance and wisdom, and not my own. Follow His will, his straight path. IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM

From lecture I had an aha moment: it's so cool how even in looking at human nature- how we naturally find trust in those who know us, forgive us, love us, are honest with us, all these qualities point to our God. We innately have yearnings for God himself. The people we trust are only a glimpse and manifestation of the God who is truth, who is most trustworthy!
