inspiration.

everyone needs inspiration on a tuesday, which is the worst day of the week. let's be real, your adrenaline from monday is gone and you are even more tired, yet there is still no friday in sight. a terrible abyss.

do everything in dependence on Him. the desire to act independently springs from the root of pride. self-sufficiency is subtle, insinuating its way into your thoughts and actions without your realizing it. apart from Him, you can do nothing: that is, nothing of eternal value. His deepest desire for you is that you learn to depend on Him in every situation. He moves heaven and earth to accomplish this purpose, but you must collaborate with Him in this training. teaching you would be simple if He negated your free will or overwhelmed you with His presence. however, He loves you too much to withdraw the godlike privilege He has bestowed on you as His image-bearer. use your freedom wisely, by relying on Him constantly. thus you enjoy His presence and His peace.

john 15:5, ephesians 6:10, gensis 1:26-27
