Dependence

God uses weak men – Hudson Taylor

God uses men who are weak and feeble enough to lean on him.

Faith trusts and follows – Oswald Chambers

Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.

– Oswald Chambers –

Do all from a perfect oneness – Oswald Chambers

All I do should be biased on a perfect oneness with Him, not on a self-willed determination to be godly.

– Oswald Chambers –

Depend on God for everything – Jonathan Edwards

The work of a true convert is not done. He finds a great work to do and great wants to be supplied. He still sees himself to be a poor, empty, helpless creature who still stands in great and continual need of God’s help. He well knows that without God he can do nothing. After a true conversion, the soul is increasingly aware of its own impotence and emptiness. It is still aware of its universal dependence on God for everything.

– Jonathan Edwards –

Does Christ control you? – Dawson Trotman

The question for each man to settle is not what he would do for the Lord if he had more money, time or education, but what he will do with the things he has. It’s not who you are or what you have that matters—but whether Christ controls you.
