Psalms 81:8-12

“Hear, O my people, and I will warn you– if you would but listen to me, O Israel! You shall have no foreign god among you; you shall not bow down to an alien god. I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt.

Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.

But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me.

So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.”

O how we are a stubborn people. There is nothing NEW under the sun! There is no amount of knowledge that we can gain nor spirituality that we can reach, no amount of wisdom that can be found that would ever be enough that we might be able to do it alone. We will never be to great that we are able to carry our own burdens, or fix our own problems, or heal our own bodies and minds.
We are a people who are and will always be in desperate NEED of Jesus. Everyday that we breathe this air will be a day of deep need, EVERY DAY!

I pray that the Lord Jesus would continue to burn that into my heart and mind, because some how along the way I have forgotten. I have stumbled onto old chains. We are not in control of our lives no matter how much we desire to be.
I have to let it  go, I have to find that place again,  because with my life in my own hands, destruction fallows me.
