YOU
CAN ACHIEVE THE VICTORIOUS LIFE through living in deep dependence on Me.
People usually associate victory with success: not falling or
stumbling, not making mistakes. But those who are successful in their
strength tend to go their own way, forgetting about Me. It is through
problems and failure, weakness and neediness, that you learn to rely on
Me.
True dependence is not simply asking Me to bless
what you have decided to do. It is coming to Me with an open mind and
heart, inviting Me to plant My desires within you. I may infuse within
you a dream that seems far beyond your reach. You know that in yourself
you cannot achieve such a goal. Thus begins your journey of profound
reliance on Me. It is a faith-walk, taken one step at a time, leaning on
Me as much as you need. This is not a path of continual success but of
multiple failures. However, each failure is followed by a growth spurt,
nourished by increased reliance on Me. Enjoy the blessedness of a
victorious life through deepening your dependence on Me.
Psalm 34:17-18; 2 Corinthians 5:7
