A Plan of Dependence

Gods plan for our life is one of dependence on Him. He really meant what He said in John 15:5. Without Him you can do nothing, without Him you can be nothing. His plan is not for you to be 99% dependent on Him and 1% dependent on yourself/others. He wants you to be a 100% dependent on Him. That sounds kinda weird I know. So why do we have a mind, talent, resources? I really don't know for now. 

What I do know is that He wants to be the initiator and director of our desires and actions. Every step no matter how mundane should emanate from His grace and provision. Like what to wear, who to see, etc. He wants our hearts constantly averted to Him at the beginning, middle and end. The moment we start sorting ourselves out or depending on our resources is when we start cutting off from Him and finding our own way. Please stop.

The divine plan is one of total leaning, total pleasing and total looking to Him. He is the author and finisher. He started the project by giving you the breath of life and wants you to let Him complete it. Whenever you feel you are in charge, it may be wise to hint Him that He's actually the one in charge. He sees your heart you know.

When you are full, give thanks. When you are empty, give thanks. Let Him know He is everything to you.
