There have been many times in my life where I trusted in my own strength and power to save me or to gain honor for myself. At those times, I sought the favor of people more than that of God. Trusting is self, and the opinions of others produce slavery and bondage, but trusting in God is the life of freedom and fulfillment!

My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.  Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Selah Psalm 62:7,8 (NIV84)

Trusting in God for your salvation and honor is indeed the most satisfying and rewarding way to live! Why? Because empowering life is found in knowing you are loved, forgiven, and free! When we trust him, we can cast all of our cares upon him because we know that he cares for us. 1Pet 5:7  Oh yes, there is something profound about being in the valley of the shadow of death and genuinely fearing no evil because you know God is with you! Ps 23:4  

Are you putting the full weight of your trust in God today? Now is your opportunity to step into the life of God’s abundant freedom and happiness! God’s kind of life, faith, causes you to be bold enough to confront your fears and leap over previous obstacles and hurdles. Yes, you can start that business, write that book, forgive that person, step into that ministry! The difference between winning and losing in life comes down to your thought life and what you have chosen to put your trust in.

There is no reason to allow fear to rule your life today! God’s word is true, and he will never leave you or forsake you. Heb 13:5  Set your mind on the inspiring truths of God’s word, for they are life to all who find them and health to their whole body! Prov 4:22 May the days of putting your hope and trust in yourself be over! Oh yes! I am praying that this Encouraging Note inspires you to, as never before, live the amazing life of…

DEPENDING ON GOD!
