Each year, during this week, there is a lot of talk about independence across our nation. We celebrate Independence Day in a multiplicity of ways, most often with family and friends.
Yesterday, I was reminded once again of how great is my need for DEPENDENCE on my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is who I never want to be independent from.
When one of our daughters was in 2nd or 3rd grade, she came skipping out to my husband's car - after school. As she got in his little Geo Metro, she excitedly shared about the big happening of the school day. A little boy in her class had to be taken to the hospital for surgery...
"Guess what, Dad?
They're going to have to take out his independence!"
What a statement! Even though she really meant appendix, it got us to making some spiritual connections:
"Jesus,
I depend on Your Righteousness.
Take out my independence!
I want to hunger and thirst for righteousness,
because You are our righteousness."
BLESSED! OH, THE JOY!
