Dependent on the Rock

I am reminded of my utter dependence upon Christ today. A short passage of scripture that I encountered today during my devotional:

"17 Unless the LORD had given me help,
I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.

18 When I said, "My foot is slipping,"
your love, O LORD, supported me.

19 When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought joy to my soul. "

-Psalm 94:17-19

May we give thanks to a God who hears us when we cry out to Him! I am so thankful for a God who has compassion on me when my foot is slipping and my body gives way. Thank you God for stressful times and trying situations; in these trials do I find strength in you. I am utterly dependent on Your grace and strength holy Father- teach me to rest completely in Your arms alone.

My friends- if you do not know this security and comfort, run to the cross! Throw off everything- every relationship, every comfort, every novelty, every expectation, every cultural norm and run to Christ's saving arms.
