only You

“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.” —Psalm 20:7

I have always thought of myself as self-sufficient, I always thought I can make it on my own (besides I enjoy solitude, that is I bask in the thought of being alone) --- but when I think about it, I am never self-sufficient & never really on my own (nor am I ever alone)... for the Lord is always present...always there...helping me make it...catching me when I fall...directing my paths... I have to constantly remind myself that it's not me, but it is the Lord working in me...

Lord God, thank you for helping me trust in You always, not in myself or my “strengths”, not in men or their seeming strengths, but on You, only on You-- for You alone are worthy of trust—You alone.

“My hope is built in nothing less,
Than Jesus blood & righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name;
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.”
