Who Do You Depend On? God is Always Faithful

Show Notes:
I know it’s important to be confident in who we are & to believe in ourselves, but we cannot rely on ourselves more than we rely on God because He needs to be first in our lives.

Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”

When we believe WE are all we need, we isolate ourselves from everyone else and from God. You might feel like it doesn’t matter because you FEEL like He hasn’t come through for you, but you’re probably wrong on that, too. God comes through for all of us, even when we don’t ask because he’s a loving God. But we often struggle to realize this because what we are BLESSED with doesn’t always look like what we hoped for. And that’s for the better.
How many times have other people let you down? How many times have you let yourself down?

God won’t let you down. The only reason you might THINK he will is when you have expectations of something that doesn’t end up happening. But that’s not his fault. What you wanted just happened to not align with His will and you didn’t have the faith & trust in God to believe He will ALWAYS have your best interests in mind.

Here are 5 reasons you should only rely on God:

1. God Never Changes 
   1. God will ALWAYS be there for you. He is steadfast in character & promises, despite how we might be acting up & allowing our circumstances to dictate our thoughts & actions.
   2. Numbers 23:19, “God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?”
   3. Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” NLT
2. We Can Do Nothing Significant Without God 
   1. God is everything for us in life. He is the one and only source and without Him, we could do nothing of significance. 
   2. Proverbs 16:3, “Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.”
3. He Provides Protection & Guidance 
   1. He is the one you can call in times of trouble that will ALWAYS answer the call. 
   2. Psalm 46:1, “God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.”
4. He’s the Perspective We Need 
   1. We can’t get caught up in believing we can be self-sufficient without God because it’s not true. We need Him more than we think.  When we rely on God, we keep the perspective on what’s more important: Him. 
   2. Philippians 4:13, “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”
5. It Creates Relationship with Him 
   1. The more we rely on God & trust Him to handle things, the deeper our relationship with Him gets. We need to surrender DAILY to Him everything in our world. 
   2. Psalm 55:22, “Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.”
   3. 1 Peter 5:7, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”
