Song of the Week: 'HE Is' (feat. Simonia Milton)

 

Dependency - totally reliant upon; unable to be independent of/from.

 

Ever noticed how children rarely (if ever) concern themselves with: food being placed in front of them… transportation… protection from the 'boogeyman' @ night… roof over head, rent, mortgage, etc.?

 

JESUS used a child as the perfect example of how we must look to HIM and not: our motives, striving, goals, maneuvering, routines, rituals, positions, titles, etc. You name it. If it (or them) is not placed within the proper context of being secondary to JESUS (alone), we deserve the same admonishment JESUS gave the disciples.

 

Tune in for our latest podcast episode of The Words of Life Show where we challenge ourselves: do we approach JESUS with motive, effort, goals, dreams and plans or do we simply arrive reliant upon HIS will, direction and provision for us… mimicking children as they defer to and depend upon their parents for everything?

 

Tune in for our latest podcast episode of The Words of Life Show where we challenge ourselves: are we more concerned about what life (or others) are doing 'to us' or what GOD is accomplishing 'in us…' using the same people, circumstances or trials?
