It is so natural for us to want to rely on ourselves.   We see the tremendous virtue in being “self made”, however God wants us not to rely on ourselves, but on Him.

Our big bank account, security fences, super health and fitness routines are fine, but we have all heard where these things have failed those who rely on them.

Being a responsible person is what we do to honor God in our lives, not to replace him.  When we need to be confident about our health, finances, security or any area of our life, we should turn first to God, by reading the bible, praying and putting our faith in God.

Paul tells in 1 Timothy 6:17, “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment”

God is our source of peace, love, joy, and security, in this life and eternally.
