Christian Devotional – August 12, 2018

Do we expect God to give us what we need? We are so independent in this culture and we are taught that we need to find our own answers. That is not how God designed us. Read Psalm 123.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the Lord our God, Until He is gracious to us.
Psalms 123:2 NASB

We are to be mindful of where our help comes from. We cannot find the answers to what we need apart from Him. Our independence is a weakness in the eyes of the Lord and it keeps us from experiencing all that God desires to provide for us. I know that it is not easy to rely on someone else, but yet God is faithful and worthy of our trust. Will we look to Him and continue to seek our help solely from Him?
