Depending on God?

Hey readers,

It sure has been months since I last updated my blog but who cares lol. Here goes...

Depending on God? There was a time which I did just depend on God. I guess I did that when I was having hard-times but only when I had hard-times like problems and so on. So which means most of the time I've been depending on my own strength and not God. Sometimes depending on one's self... Well, let's just say you can't expect great results honestly. But somehow I still stick to depending on myself and I just forget all about God. I myself don't understand why I'm like this.

Rebellion against God maybe? Why would I do that when He has always blessed me? I don't understand. I mean... I should be grateful right? So why am I neglecting Him? I think I should really depend on Him even more now. Through good times also and not only bad times. I don't understand what's wrong with me but I think I need prayer for this. I'm blogging this to remind myself. I'm sure a lot of you people out there experience this as well. So may we all be reminded.

Here are a few verses:

Jeremiah 17:7-8 "But Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."

Psalms 37: 3-8 "Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret--it leads only to evil."

Isaiah 40:31 "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Philippians 4:11b-13 "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through Him who gives me strength."

That's it from me for now,
Jason
