Refusing to Depend on God

Me:  It looks like a good day.

Prodigal:  Yes, it does, but remember to have the Lord with you at all times.

Me:  That is true.

This is from the book Bold Love by Dr. Dan B. Allender & Dr. Tremper Longman III

Sin, or hatred of God, is a defiant movement, sometimes unwitting and other times quite conscious, which refuses to depend on God for His direction and strength.  In that sense, we become enemies of God whenever we seek to find satisfaction for our deepest longings apart from relationship with Him.

It is too easy to forget God.  I wish it was not so, but the busy world that has left Christ out makes it real easy.  Does that mean I have an excuse, well the Lord forgives, but life in relationship with the Lord makes a huge difference it how our life will turn out.

Wisdom is good with an inheritance:  and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

Ecclesiastes 7:11
