I have come to discover something so strongly about the flesh, "the human life by default". If a man or woman decides to start living his life without GOD, "no dependence on God," he will make too many mistakes, strong mistakes, or irreparable mistakes with his life in such a way that any attempt to correct them by himself could cause him more damage than the mistakes themselves had caused.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones. (Proverbs 3:5-8 NKJV.)
The human life by default is too limited, yet we go about in the little us boasting and flexing muscles here and there.
Calm down! Be calming down! The most you think you can do in your personal strength, if you were to entrust your life completely in the hand of the Lord Jesus Christ, you would be surprised at the whole lot of results you would get.
God can achieve so much with your life in a lifetime than you could achieve same result in 1000 lifetimes.
You need help in GOD to be able to go through life, and not only come out victoriously, but as a vigorous champion! Imagine the kind of champion that king David, one of the ancient kings of Israel, became all because his strength and dependence was GOD.
He fought up to 66 battles in his lifetime, yet wasn’t held to ransom in the course of any of the battles. And it was said of him that, “The Lord helped David win his battles wherever he went”, according to 1 Chronicles 18 verse 6. But try to run a check on the numbers of battles that most of our soldiers had gone to in our days, before most of they returned home wounded, and some got killed in the heat of battles, and were buried by same battles. Still, most of them who died from some terrible circumstances never fought a battle all their lifetimes.
Your strength could move you in a direction, but how far would it take you before you are done? Your strength can only be upheld in Christ Jesus to get the kind of relevance that your life is originally meant to show forth in your days. Continue or enter into Christ for unbreakable and unbeatable strength to finish your life’s journey 'a strong soldier' that need not to be afraid, nor turn aside from nothing.
Only Jesus can give you the life support you need to go far in life. Your strength would fail when you less expect it. Turn to (or continue in) Jesus and abide, to always be sure of perpetual life support to finish well to the end, as the Lord God has scripted for you.
