Dependence on God

A friend sent this to me a while back. It has been of great benefit and I thought I'd pass it on.

Acts 17:28 - For in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’
Romans 11:36 - For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen
Colossians 1:16 - For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have been created through Him and for Him.

Reality
Dependence on God is our actual state but not our natural perception.


Perceived?
Are you aware of your dependence on God?
No: Ignorant rebellion - Get educated!
Yes: continue...

Surrendered?
Do you yield your will to His and trust His plan?
No: Willful rebellion - Repent!
Yes: continue...

Outlook
What is your attitude toward this yielding?
Negative: Willful rebellion - Re-examine your surrender
Neutral: Negative outlook in disguise - Re-examine surrender
Positive: Correct Christian mindset - Continue to trust in God!
