The Lord delights in our dependence on Him.
The world is very much focused on being independent and looking within yourself and finding and sustaining on your own strength. So many strive to be strong enough to get through and survive seemingly unbearable circumstances. But we have a God who delights in our dependence on Him. Not only are we not required to move through our struggles on our own, but our God actually wants us to rely completely on Him; to rely completely on His strength. He delights in this.
Lay it all down. You don’t have to be strong. You have a God who delights in your complete dependence on Him.
He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, the Lord’s delight is in those who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love. Psalms 147:10-11 NLT
