Dependability

I was praying this morning about how I’m thankful for certain luxuries in my life.  I don’t have a fancy sports car, but I have a new vehicle that I appreciate every time it starts and drives so well.  I pay a lot of money every month to have a dependable vehicle.  I am willing to sacrifice my hard earned cash and deny myself other things to afford a dependable car and not have to worry about it’s reliability.

Dependability always comes with sacrifice.  When we depend on God we sacrifice our control and trust God with our faith.  Jesus depended on His Father and the Lord’s plan.  He sacrificed himself with a level of trust and faith only the Son of God could attain.  All for a much greater cause than any one of us could imagine.  He knew that the world depended on Him.  He knew that His dependability would serve every single one of us.

When we sacrifice and place our trust in Him, we gain Hope, perseverance, and divine reliability.  

Lord, I want to thank you today for my gift of insight into your words and helping me see your actions in my life.  The subtle events that cascade into deep trust and dependence on your plan for my life.  I am amazed at the presence of your work in my life no matter how small or insignificant.  

Thank you Lord for calling me yours.
