Drop Your Crutch

You may have noticed that on the side of my blog there is a widgit called "Reminders from God". These quotes come from a book entitled, "God Calling", a daily devotional format of thoughts from God toward us to encourage, strengthen and to bring hope.

I purchased the book not long ago and have been chewing on some of its truths for days. One recent entry has been especially impacting for me, because it really speaks to the very spot I find myself in right now on this journey. It is called, "Drop Your Crutch" and it is the entry from February 4th.

"Just go step by step. My will shall be revealed as you go. You will never cease to be thankful for this time when you felt at peace and trustful, and yet had no human security.

"That is the time of the true learning of trust in Me. 'When thy father and mother forsake thee, then the Lord will take thee up.' This is a literal dependence on Me.

"When human support or material help of any kind is removed, then My power can become operative. I cannot teach a man to walk who is trusting to a crutch. Away with your crutch, and my power shall so invigorate you that you shall indeed walk on to victory. Never limit My power. It is limitless."
