God's Glory Church

It is tempting to think that we are strong, we are capable, and “we have everything under control.” But in reality we are powerless on our own. We desperately need God—every moment of every day.

We would not exist if He had not created us. We would not live if He did not sustain us. We would not prosper if He did not guide, protect and empower us.

The author of 1 Chronicles knew the importance of relying on God. He said:

“Seek the Lord and His strength, always seek His presence!”
1 Chronicles 16:11

In a world that is constantly focused on ourselves, it is very important to recognize our need to depend on God. We need His strength, we need His power, and simply put, we just need Him!

If you feel confident in your own self-sufficiency, ask yourself: Who created this world? Who made my body, my mind and my soul? My eyes, my legs, my lungs? Who has the power to save or destroy? Who holds the keys to life?

Just as we constantly need air, we need God’s strength and presence to sustain our every step.

So how can we continually seek His power and presence? Staying in touch with Him: talking to Him throughout the day, making Him a priority in the midst of a busy schedule, humbly asking for His strength.

God will never reject a heart that sincerely seeks Him.

So come to Him in your weakness and He will give you strength. Come to Him with your questions, needs, and desires, and He will give Himself to you. And this is the best that can be.
