In Me and Me alone. I am a jealous God. I am the lifter of your head. I do not share your heart. I am your God, your only God. I want the fullness of your heart.
I want to be the sole focus of your attention. You are covered in my blood. You belong to Me. I want your complete dependence on Me.
Do you think that you can do it better? Do you think that you can work things out better than I can? You cannot. When you do it your way, it is not as good as if you depended on Me to do it.
Shame and fear are the currency of the devil. Set those things aside. Set aside your selfish desires and your selfish ambitions. Those are not in alignment with My will for your life.
What would it be like to live a life completely dependent on Me? A life that is guided and directed by Me alone?
It is not easy to walk by faith. It is not easy to be obedient. But the blessings and the reward far outweighs the sacrifice.
Can you imagine living a life of victory? Being victorious every single day and in every single area of your life? That is what I will give you. I will give you victory. I will cause you to be victorious.
Meditate on My word. Pray without ceasing. Abide in my presence. There you will find rewards, riches, blessings and victory. Open your mouth and fill it with praise. Open you mouth and fill it with worship.
“For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.””
Isaiah 41:13
