Not by your Strength

Trusting in God completely and relying on Him always pay better than relying on our own strengths or capabilities. When we choose to rely on God and totally depend on Him, we are acknowledging that God is the only One that can do that which we need for us.

Totally depending on God shows that we know that without God we are nothing and we can do nothing. When we depend on God for all things we show that we are not relying on our own strengths but that we are relying on Him.

Sometimes, I find myself depending on my strength to do things or my skills to help me with things, at times I even look at how prepared I am to go through some things and I forget to look at The Most Important Person and how He is more than capable to do things for me through His Holy Spirit.

I found out that when I rely on my own strengths or skills it results in me getting stressed out or wearied. This isn’t the right thing to do.

We need to learn to rely on God at all times and not what we can do or what we have. Each time we rely on God and not our strengths, we always make the right choice because completely relying on God is one of the best decisions we can make.

When we are faced with a situation or a task, we should always rely on God and pray to God for strength and commit all that we are doing onto His hands.

When we put God first and acknowledge Him in all that we do, things and situations get better.

With God, we have all that we need and all that we will ever need. His Grace is more than sufficient for us.
