Utter Dependence

Scripture makes a great case for utter dependence.  In fact, it would not be an overstatement to say that man only seems to get into trouble when they are not utterly obedient upon God (think Adam, Eve, et al).  Therefore it seems that a brief definition of what this utter dependence looks like is a useful and relevant endeavor.

Utter dependence means praying with the first breath of the morning and the last breath at night.  It means that we will think of everything that we do as an act of obedience and faithfulness.  It means that every good thing that comes our way will be thought of as a blessing for our good.  It means that every difficult thing that comes will be thought of as a blessing for our good.  It means that we will seek out ways to love our neighbors throughout the day.  It means that we will seek out the Lord to direct our every step.  It means that we will go the extra mile for every person we can and it means that we will exhaust ourselves for their good.  It means that we will abandon ourselves upon the Word of God.  And it means that we will love, truly love.

This is just a snapshot of utter dependence.  Let it become our heart's song and our life's goal.
