Constantly Depending

“Let us examine our ways and test them and let us return to the Lord”(Lamentations 3:40).

“The most healthy state of a true believer is to be always empty in self (John 3:30) and constantly depending (Proverbs 3:5-6) upon the Lord for supplies…to be always poor in self and rich in Jesus.” CH Spurgeon

The Latin term “Coram Deo” means “before the face of God”, or simply living each moment aware that God is always present. It is a reminder that all humanity, all creation is “Corum Deo”. Do we walk in awareness knowing that God is ever present? Probably not! We ought to walk and breath in the awe and reverence of the all-knowing God. The One who is “Corum Deo” is the One “who so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…” (John 3:16). The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 1:7). My friend, the Divine created you in HIS image. The Divine presence is knocking at the door of your heart. Your Maker wants you and me to be Constantly Depending on HIS love and care and presence. The next step for you is to open your mind and your heart to the beginning of wisdom.

God will be with you and in you when your heart and mind say yes, come in and … let’s reason together … (Isaiah 1:18). Now is a good time to do some reasoning with God. Prayer is in itself, apart from the answer, which it brings, a great benefit to me and I believe it for you as well. Think on these things. I know I am Constantly Depending!
