HELPLESS AT LAST…We all know we are supposed to depend upon God. But for a thousand reasons we find ourselves depending upon almost everything else. Why? There is a simple overlooked truth about human nature we need to grasp before ours will become a life of Divine reliance.
“The helpless put their trust in you.” ~Psalm 10:14
Did you see that, it’s the helpless that understand the world of Divine trust. Now I don’t want to rub our noses in the obvious, but most of us won’t fully depend upon God until we are fully helpless. As long as there are visible options…who in their right mind is going to pursue the invisible options? When we recognize our addiction to making our own way, we begin to see help-less-ness as a blessing. Only when there is no where else to turn do we ‘look up’. Only when we are helpless, do we fully position ourselves to observe a real God, with real answers, penetrating our actual situations. It’s then and only then we learn the big lessons of receiving help from God. Helplessness creates the opportunity for us to build our reliance. Are you facing a helpless situation? You can panic if you want…but I assure you that God is breathing a sigh of relief and uttering just under His breath…“finally they’re HELPLESS AT LAST”! Do you think there could ever be a day you view help-less-ness as one step away from God’s great empowerment? ~verlon

This is so cool...Helplessness-Powerlessness.. Sometimes we try so hard to fix it, so we can get past it, and can't...Then when we give up trying ,surrendering to get it, then we got it.....Surrender to win. Hmmm.. Standing on higher ground now.....This is usually followed by that question of self realization..."Jesus, if I just simply trusted in you in the first place."..Easy is sometimes the most elusive and hardest of things for the self complicated mind..Being such a knuckle dragger of this order.... I could write a book on this subject...Maybe titled " A guide for man.. An extremely articulate and well educated dummy"..BUT!!!.. I thank God he I already provided one.. "The Bible"...I'll just Simply surrender to that! Certainly less complicated........Eh men And a Big A-men?
ReplyDeletePs...Notice that the self Question..Starts as a question...Really ends up a statement....Ouch...Acceptance is that little big light going on above the head.....It's his too.
