SEPTEMBER 6 DO EVERYTHING IN DEPENDENCE ON ME.
The desire to act independently—apart from Me—springs from the root of pride. Self-sufficiency is subtle, insinuating its way into your thoughts and actions without your realizing it. But apart from Me, you can do nothing: that is, nothing of eternal value. My deepest desire for you is that you learn to depend on Me in every situation. I move heaven and earth to accomplish this purpose, but you must collaborate with Me in this training. Teaching you would be simple if I negated your free will or overwhelmed you with My Power. However, I love you too much to withdraw the godlike privilege I bestowed on you as My image-bearer. Use your freedom wisely by relying on Me constantly. Thus you enjoy My Presence and My Peace.
JOHN 15:5; EPHESIANS 6:10; GENESIS 1:26–27
What areas of pride do you need to confess? Trust Me to forgive and to provide you with everything you need. [Your Response Here]
