Observation: Self reliance is like a noose that slowly tightens itself around the neck. When trouble comes, instead of crying out to God for help, the hand reaches for the wallet. The false sense of security that self reliance bequeaths to its benefactor is intoxicating, until the chair is violently kicked from underneath and the noose chokes away all life...in that moment of desperate realization, a muffled prayer is whispered from the lips.
Application: There is NOTHING that The Lord can not give or take away. All that we have is because He has given it to us and it is His to take away also. Do not rely on anything other than God. He is the only firm foundation, the only hope, and the only one who will never fail us.
Prayer: Lord, let me be most satisfied in you. Let the things of this world grow strangely dim and may You ever be my strong tower, my deliverer, my protector, my God.
