Day 7: I am dependent

Welcome to the last day of Seek Week!

No matter how this week has gone for you, I am incredibly proud of you! However your seek doesn't end here, it only intensifies. The great thing about God is that he doesn't ask us to seek him with our strength. He allows us to be completely dependent on him. Many times, we tend to develop a level of independence that makes us not need God as much. Ironically, culture supports this independence. More hustle, more grind. The more you work, the more you get.

At first glance, the idea of independence sounds good but if we are not careful, we can allow our desire to be independent and figure everything out on our, counteract God's instruction to humble ourselves so that God can give us the grace that we need to obey Him and live our lives according to purpose.

We need God to serve God. Seek week would have been a waste of time if your seek ends here. However, to continuously seek God, we must submit our desire to be independent under the authority of God. Humility requires you to have self-awareness about the areas in your life that God needs to expose. Once we are aware of them we can surrender and submit them to the will of God. God, in return, gives us the grace that we need to serve Him. You cannot seek God beyond the grace that he has given you. It takes Grace to fast, it takes Grace to pray, it takes Grace to love people using the fruits of the spirit, and it takes grace to obey. Everything that God requires of us requires a level of grace and all we have to do is ask God for the grace and he will give it in abundance.

So, how do we keep the fire of SEEK WEEK burning? we humble ourselves, acknowledge our weakness, and tap into the grace God so freely provides daily. Never leave your house or start your day without asking God for the grace that you need to get through the day.

Every day God is calling you to surrender.

Every day God is calling you to greater sick than you had yesterday.

Every day God desires for you to come closer.
