Dependency

From the CANON on this blog:

Solutions

1.             God is omnipotent and therefore can solve any problem.  He may choose to use the solutions listed below, but he often provides in ways you could have never imagined.  The poor should cry out to God for help, rather than depending on Baal.
 

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.  1 Peter 5:7

But in my distress I cried out to the Lord;
    yes, I prayed to my God for help.
He heard me from his sanctuary;
    my cry to him reached his ears.  Psalm 18:6

From today’s scripture reading:

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

       2 Timothy 1:7 (NLT)

From today’s devotional:

          God doesn’t want us to live with ongoing anxiety.

Common worries include the fear of …poverty.  Why do we find it so hard to let go of our concerns, even when God clearly states, “Do not fear” (Luke 12:7)? The reason is that worry can become deeply ingrained in the way we think.

Regardless of the cause, anxiety will take our eyes off our omnipotent, loving heavenly Father and focus our attention on our circumstances. No wonder God repeatedly reminds us not to fear—He wants His children to feel secure in His capability and trustworthiness.
