Are any of you convicted as much as I am after reading these verses? It is so easy to trust in my own strength or that of another rather than trust fully in God’s mighty awesome power and steadfast love. God forgive me and my lack of trusting fully in you, for not looking to you first and relying on you, and for my thinking I can handle it on and in my own strength. In Ephesians it says that God can do more than we ask and much more than we can imagine, so why do we not turn to Him first, trusting in Him?

There are so many heart cries in these scriptures today. Cries for preservation, refuge, knowledge in God’s plan, peace, protection, fear, and shame. It is important to note these are cries from men to God and they are cries from a host of different problems they are facing. Where do you turn to? Have you ever neglected crying out for these? Why do we neglect crying out to God? What are we missing in our daily walk that keeps us ever searching for solutions apart from God? I fear it is neglect of His word and because of this it is lacking application in our lives. His word says precept upon precept, line upon line, and here a little and there a little. The question we need to ask ourselves is what is the time between precepts, and lines and here a little there a little? Keeping close to God is a heart and mind desire. Staying in His word is feeding this desire for more. Keep His word in your life everyday.
