Only God

There are times in my life where I feel as though I have to get so much done and accomplish things in order to do other things. There is always stuff hanging over our head and the stress of that sometimes feels overwhelming. I believe far to often I lean on my own strength and wisdom when I should be relying on God. I believe in the Church we rely on the help of others for so many things when we should be relying on God. Now I am not saying that God does not use people but have we gotten away from totally relying on God and mixed that with a reliance on people. In other words we trust God will do it but we rely on people. Rather than rely on God and trust that the will provide the means or the people to accomplish what He wants. I believe when we rely on people we limit what God has for us. As I sat and listened to a pastor last night he said something to the effect of when we come to God in prayer for things what if we did not come with our own agenda but came with only His Word from scripture and said God this is what you say and promise, please do this in my life, my Church, my communities. I believe that we have moved so far away from this reliance on God that He will help us, guide us, support us and love us but we must go to Him and not others first.
